Studying biodiesel as an alternative fuel is important for finding the most suitable fuel for the future. Biodiesel from waste cooking oil is one of the alternative fuels to replace fossil oil. Waste cooking oil is the used oil from cooking and is taken from hotels or restaurants. The emulsion of waste cooking oil and water is produced by adding water to the oil, as well as some additives to bind the water and the oil. In this study, the fuel properties of 100% biodiesel waste cooking oil  are compared to several blends by volume: 5% of biodiesel waste cooking oil blended with 95% diesel oil (BD5), 10% of biodiesel waste cooking oil blended with 90% of diesel oil (BD10), 5% of biodiesel waste cooking oil blended with 10% of water and 18.7% of additives (BDW18.7), and 5% of biodiesel waste cooking oil blended with 10% of water and 24.7% of additives (BDW24.7). The objectives of this study are to establish the properties and characteristics of the FTIR (Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy) of biodiesel-water emulsions from waste cooking oil and to compare them to other fuels. The chemical properties of the fuels are analyzed by using the ASTM D Method and FTIR  to determine the FAME (fatty acid methyl ester) composition of biodiesel in diesel oil. The results showed that the addition of additives in the water-biodiesel oil increases the viscosity, density, and flash point. However, it decreased the caloric value due to the oxygen content in the fuel.

Biofuels from waste cooking oil (WCO) represent a sizable opportunity not only in terms of energy production but also as a way for sustainable development despite their low yield, higher viscosity, lengthy production time and cost. Alternatively, biodiesel can be blended at an appropriate blending ratio with convention diesel oils. The biodiesel and its blends is proved to give better emission characteristics than conventional diesel oils. This study aims to experimentally investigate the effect of the fuel blend on the combustion characteristics of WCO biodiesel. The characteristic are the droplet size, flame height, flame width and temperature distribution. In this study, the blended fuel are B0 (Solar), B10, B20, B30, B40 and B100 (WCO biodiesel). Measurement and visualization of the combustion flame for each variation of the fuel mixture was were tested at different pressures, namely 4 bar and 5 bar. The experimental results show that the droplet size increases with increasing WCO concentration in the fuel; on the other hand, visualization and calculations show that the height and width of the flame of the fuel mixture decreases Observation on the temperature distribution shows that the WCO biodiesel mixture has the potential to increase the fire temperature at certain points

Combustion of diesel oil and liquid biofuels in self-ignition engines is related to the emission of harmful gases to the atmosphere (i.e. nitrogen, carbon or sulfur oxides). These compounds, emitted in significant quantities, pose a threat to human life and health, as well as to the natural environment. The goal of our research was to investigate the influence of temperature of the waste cooking oil methyl ester on the nitrogen oxides emission in the self-ignition engine. This is to help determine if the use of biofuel thermal activation can be used to reduce nitrogen oxides emissions. Experiments carried out on the test bench in relation to harmful nitrogen compounds (NOx). The emission of exhaust gases from a diesel engine fed with methyl esters of the cooking oil was measured. The measurements were made in accordance with ISO 8178-4. From the obtained test results it can be concluded that it is worth equipping the engine with installation for preheating the fuel before its injection, but the optimal value of fuel temperature reducing emissions is at least 70°C.
