Comparison between tri-fuel (diesel-ethanol-biodiesel) emulsion with and without surfactant

In this project, the overall activities were carried out to compare tri-fuel (diesel-ethanol-biodiesel) emulsions with and without surfactant (Tween 80 and Span 80) in term of stability and physiochemical properties (density, calorific value, surface tension and kinematic viscosity) characteristics....

Potential benefit includes micro- explosion phenomenon through mixing diesel fuel and alcohol has inspired researcher to find solution for immiscibility issue. Furthermore, biodiesel add-on apart from as oxygen source, the expectation will be to act as natural surfactant.
