Fuel properties and rheological behavior of biodiesel from egusi (Colocynthis citrullus L.) seed kernel oil
In this study, egusi (Colocynthis citrullus L.) seed kernel oil has been evaluated as a feedstock for biodiesel production. The transesterification of the crude egusi seed kernel oil (CESKO) via methanol in the presence of sodium methoxide was performed and the resulting egusi oil methyl ester (EOME...
