Optimization of Diesel Fuel and Corn Oil Mixtures Composition

Possible ways of utilizing the corn oil as a fuel for diesel engines are considered. The experimental work on the D-245.12S diesel engine fueled with mixture of the corn oil and diesel fuel of different percentage has been carried out. A possibility of exhaust toxicity characteristics’ improvement by means of using these mixtures as a fuel for automobile diesel engines is demonstrated. The optimization method of the oil diesel fuel and corn oil mixtures’ composition are suggested. Optimization calculations are conducted. The optimal composition of the biofuel mixture is calculated.
