Mathematical Models for Calculating the Density of Petroleum Diesel Fuel/Biodiesel Blends

Tsanaktsidis CG, Spinthoropoulos KG, Christidis SG, Sariannidis N

We measured the density of blends of petroleum diesel fuel and two types of biodiesel, with different ratios of the components. Using statistical data, we have obtained empirical equations allowing us to calculate the density of these blends.
