Biodiesel can be used effectively as engine fuel despite several limitations in its fuel properties. A set of experiment was conducted to improve fuel properties by blending palm biodiesel (PB) with coconut biodiesel (CB) and jatropha biodiesel (JB). MATLAB optimization tool was used to identify the...
