Evaluating the potential of the use of biodiesel for power generation in Brazil

摘要: Abstract The purpose of this article is to evaluate the performance, in terms specific consumption g/kWh, biodiesel produced from soybean oil, palm oil and residual frying by means ethylic methylic routes, blending percentages 20% 50%, at different power levels, for electric generation stationary internal combustion engines. results are evaluated Tukey′s range test, which enables comparison any all contrasts between two averages a variable. evidence that blend route seems be one whose performance closest reference fuel′s, proportion has affected more significantly tested than type raw material or route, relation levels.
