Changes of Some Physicochemical Properties of Canola Oil by Adding n-Hexane and Ethanol Regarding Its Application as Diesel Fuel

Canola oil cannot be directly used as a fuel in diesel engines because its physicochemical properties differ considerably from those of oil. Therefore, the studies were intended to make closer surface tension, viscosity and density canola by adding n-hexane ethanol. The tension components well determined not only for mixtures with ethanol but also components. based on contact angle measurements PTFE. To obtain parameters saturated fatty acids, angles water, diiodomethane formamide their layers measured. studied measured engine valve. obtained results theoretical considerations allowed us explain why values are higher than They contributed explanation mechanism reduction these quantities addition It appeared, example, that mixture 20% contacted is close fuel.
