Predicting Biodiesel CN from FAME Composition

The document discusses methods for predicting the cetane number (CN) of biodiesel based on its fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) composition. Neural networks and equations have been developed that can estimate biodiesel CN using the percentages of different fatty acid esters in the fuel. One study proposed an equation that effectively predicts biodiesel CN based on its FAME composition.

their FAME composition (Ramadhas et al., 2006).

The FAME composition of biodiesel and the experimental CN values were used to train the networks. The fatty acid composition, in percentage of various esters in pure form, as well as mixtures of esters (biodiesel) and their experimental CN, were taken into account for developing their model. Bangboye and Hansen (2008) proposed an equation for predicting the CN of biodiesel based on the FAME compositions of the vegetable oil used for biodiesel production (Table 5). The developed equation was shown to predict, effectively, the CN of the biodiesel based on its FAME composition. Correlation between the chemical structure of the oil and its oxidative stability Oxidative stability is one of the major
