Abstract

FORMULATION OF RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN VISCOSITY AND TEMPERATURE FOR PALM KERNEL OIL BIODIESEL

*Alamu O. J., Oyelami S. Adebisi S. A. and Babatunde K. A.

ABSTRACT

Production of Biodiesel from Palm kernel oil (PKO) through transesterification with ethanol using potassium hydroxide (KOH) catalyst was accomplished in a previous study. Characterization of the PKO biodiesel was undertaken. From the results, a possible relationship between viscosity and the temperature of the PKO biodiesel was obtained using the least square regression approach. The resulting Viscosity?Temperature model was developed into a computer program and run with a compiler using lower bound temperature (0oC), below the pour point of the PKO biodiesel; upper bound temperature (325oC), above the flash point as well as boiling point of the PKO biodiesel and temperature incremental step of 0.2oC. The computer program generated a database for prediction of viscosity of PKO biodiesel at varying temperatures, with minimal error. Results obtained are in good agreement with experimental measurements.
