Customizing Biodiesel Derived from Tropical Trees
This research project will result in the following: (1) An increased understanding of the effect of ambient temperature on the fatty acid profile of Jatropha curcas, kamani, and coconut oils; and (2) An increased understanding of the chemical composition, emissions, and engine performance of biodiesel produced by Jatropha curcas, kamani, and coconut.
