Rheological Properties of the Jojoba Biofuel

Jojoba oil biofuel is a potential alternative to diesel fuel with attractive properties, but its flow behavior under the operating conditions of engine still needs be clarified. In this study, rheological properties jojoba are presented in assessment experimentally evaluate both their behaviors at different temperatures. A Fann-type coaxial cylinder viscometer was employed. The shear stress tested rises considerably rate marginally nonlinear manner on logarithmic scale. Rheograms indicate that decreases gradually and temperature range 30–90 °C. viscosity declines decreasing applied temperature. Based experimental results, suitable model developed for predicting characteristics during heating cooling cycles engine.
