Abstract
Emulsion of palm oil biodiesel can reduce the usage of diesel, promotes complete combustion and reduce both nitrogen oxides and particulate matter.The current researchers found that hydrophilic-lipophilic 7, 8, and 9, surfactant dosage 7% and 9%, and water content 11% and 13% are optimum blends as emulsified fuels for the diesel engine.However, there was a gap for surfactant dosage 8% on the optimum blends.Hence, this study aims to ascertain the emulsion properties meeting the diesel fuels standard followed by visualization technique with Liedenfrost to record the evolution leading to micro-explosion.The results on all the emulsions did not show clear water after 90 days up to 114 days of visual observation indicating stable emulsion.The viscosity and density values with 13% water content were higher than 11%.While the calorific values and sauter mean diameter of 11% water content were higher than 13%.Micro-explosion observed for all single droplet emulsion exhibited coalescence of the small water particles into the larger diameter water particles as the main factor for the occurrences of micro-explosion.
