Biodiesel is considered a good alternative for diesel engines, given its characteristics, for being non-toxic and for being a more environmental-friendly fuel. A liquid–liquid equilibrium (LLE), comprising biodiesel+glycerol+alcohol, occurs during the production of biodiesel. The use of reliable thermodynamics models is essential to describe biodiesel+glycerol+alcohol systems as to design and analyze...

The reduction of emissions from diesel engines has been studied by many authors and the modification of the fuel composition is one of the most discussed proposals. In this context, the study of ab–diesel mixtures (Alcohol+Biodiesel+DIESEL) has attracted attention due to some of its characteristics, such as combustion heat similar to that of “pure” diesel and reduction in the emission of particulate...

A new model for predicting the viscosities of biodiesel is presented in this work. This model is based on the principle of corresponding states, using one- and two-reference fluids. For the critical constants of methyl esters, the Marrero–Gani method was used. For biodiesels, Lee–Kesler’s mixing rules were used for critical constants calculations. The two models studied in this work were compared...
