Keywords:
Transesterified, SiO2, Pour Poimt, Nanoparticles, Flash pointAbstract
Ever since the research community highlighted the emission and sustainability aspects of pure diesel in the transportation sector, then began the search of next prospective fuel source that would address the shortcomings of diesel fuel. In the present research the effects of SiO2 nanoparticles on physical properties of transesterified rapeseed oil was investigated. The crude rapeseed oil was purified, transesterified and nanoparticles were dispersed in the transesterified oil with concentration ranging from 0.2% to 1.0% in 0.2% interval. The physical properties such as refractive index, specific gravity, pour point, fire point, flash point Etc, were studied. It was found out among other things that small amount of 0.4% of SiO2 nanoparticles in the oil could improve the physical properties of the fluid. It could be concluded that the optimum amount of SiO2 nanoparticles to be used for nanofliud is 0.4%. Hence, the trans-esterified rapeseed containing 0.4% SiO2 nano particles has the potential to be used as lubricant oil.
