Effect of Carbon Nanotube Dispersions to the Palm Oil Diesel-Biodiesel Blend Properties

Effect of Carbon Nanotube Dispersions to the Palm Oil Diesel-Biodiesel Blend Properties

This paper reports on the use of Carbon Nanotubes (CNT) as an additive to the palm oil diesel–biodiesel fuel blends and its effects to the fuel properties. The tested biodiesel fuels were prepared by dispersing CNT into the diesel-biodiesel fuel blends at five different concentrations of 0.005% vo...
