Characteristic Study Of Physiochemical Properties Of Hybrid Biofuel (Palm Oil And Alcohol Blend) For Compression Ignition Engine Application

Exponential growth of industrialization and motorization has led arising of petroleum and energy demand. This results in the search for a new form of energy to cater the depletion of fossil fuel and the environmental degradation condition. Straight vegetable oils is a renewable alternatives to diese...
