3.2. Characteristics of biodiesel and its blends with diesel
3.2.1. Distillation curve
A distillation curve is used to characterize the volatility of fuel
and its tendency to form soot and smoke and considered as an
important indicator for long-term analysis of fuel performance
relating to optimization and design engines. It is essential for biodiesel and its blends since biodiesel is oxygenated fuel which is the
distinct difference to conventional diesel.
