HFRR Studies on Methyl Esters of Nonedible Vegetable Oils

The article describes the systematic studies on the lubrication properties of biodiesel, low sulfur diesel fuel, and their blends. Biodiesel from nonedible oils (e.g., Jatropha curcas, Pongamia glabra, Madhuca indica, and Salvadora oleoides) were prepared by base-catalyzed transesterification using methanol; high-speed diesel (HSD) used was from Panipat refinery. The lubricity evaluation of bio…
