Now a day biodiesel becomes best alternative for diesel fuel. Thermogravimetry technique has great acceptance in the field of fossil fuel. The thermal and kinetics properties of diesel and Jatropha biodiesel are analyzed by using popular technique of thermogravimetry. The aim is to study the behavior of diesel, biodiesel and their blends in Nitrogen gas atmosphere at the heating rate of 5K/min, 10K/min and 15K/min from 30°C to 600°C. From study it is found that as heating rate increases peak is shifting toward higher value which shows that there is less uniform heating. The study clearly shows biodiesel is more stable than diesel indicating that transesterification make sample less stable. The Arrehenius Kinetic model is applied to study the activation energy. As percentage of biodiesel increases, stability of sample increases and hence increases in activation energy |
