Abstract

This paper highlights the importance to shift from the use of traditional fossil fuels to the clean energy sources such biodiesel. In this regard, simulation design studies have been conducted using ASPEN HYSIS software for the production of pure and blended B20 biodiesel form castor oil. The simulation cases will be introduced and the properties of the pure and the blended B20 biodiesel will be highlighted. A superiority of the biodiesel B20 blend over the pure one has been highlighted in terms of enhancing, most importantly, the viscosity and the density beside to other properties which also will be summarized.
