چکیده
Development of local technologies is crucial to the sustainable energy agenda in resource-limited countries and world. Strengthening green promoting utilization will reduce carbon emissions that could be generated during transportation delivery products from one country another. In this paper we developed bio-oil/diesel blends using a low-tech pyrolysis system designed for smallholder farmers developing tested their appropriateness diesel engines standard ASTM methods. Corn stover retrieved Gayaza, Uganda were pyrolyzed batch rocket stove reactor at 350 °C liquid bio-oil harvested. Bio-oil chemical composition was analyzed by Gas Chromatography equipped with Flame Ionization Detector (GC-FID). Bio-oil/diesel emulsions ternary concentrations 5%, 10% 20% weight 1% concentration sorbitan monolaurate as an emulsifier. The distillates had property ranges: specific gravities 15 827.4–830.7 kg m?3, 20 823.9–827.2 m ?3, kinematic viscosities 40 3.01–3.22 mm2/s, initial boiling points 140–160 °C, final 354–368 calculated cetane indexes 56.80–57.63. These properties compare well fuel. emulsion meet requirements automotive East Africa.
