Özet
Biodiesel is an alternative diesel fuel that can be produced from renewable feedstocks such as
vegetable oil or animal fats by transesterification with methanol for using in diesel engines. The
viscosity and density of biodiesel fuels are important parameters due to being key fuel properties for
injection and combustion process of diesel engines. These fuel properties mainly depend on the
feedstock which is used in the biodiesel production. Also, lubricity is an important for diesel engine
fuels due to the fuel injection systems are lubricated by the fuel itself. In this study, the blends
containing 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% of food-grade canola oil/inedible animal tallow in volume basis
were prepared and converted into methyl esters by base-catalyzed transesterification. Effect of canola
oil ration in the feedstock on the viscosity, density and lubricity were investigated. Lubricity was
determined using the high-frequency reciprocating rig (HFRR) test. Experimental results showed that
the kinematics viscosity of increased as animal tallow ratio increased in the feedstock, as animal
tallow itself is more viscous than canola oil. Also, density did not change much when blended
feedstocks were used. Besides, it was observed that lubricity of biodiesel fuels from blended
feedstocks was slightly get worse compared with pure biodiesels.
