Abstract
Biodiesel is an alternative to the petroleum diesel that is getting much attention from the consumers currently. There is a variety of sources in forms of vegetable oil and animal fats that can be used to produce biodiesel. Many types of vegetable oil and animal fats that have been used to produced biodiesel from previous studies. The sources of biodiesel produced from previous studies are based on the availability of the sources locally and researches on the particular sources. Since there are many sources can be used to produce biodiesel, the properties of the biodiesel produced can be different. Many studies and tests have been conducted in order to determine the properties of biodiesel from different sources and to know whether the biodiesel is suitable to be used by the consumers and commercialization purpose. In this project, the biodiesel is produced from three types of vegetable oil that is coconut oil, corn oil, and olive oil that are available locally. Several tests are then conducted to determine the properties of the biodiesel produced such as density, flash point, and viscosity. The results from tests and experiments conducted show that the density of coconut oil and corn oil biodiesel have the same value while density of olive oil biodiesel is slightly lower. Flash point of coconut oil biodiesel is the highest among the three biodiesels while corn oil and olive oil biodiesel show only a slight difference between them with corn oil biodiesel has the higher value of flash point. The viscosity of coconut oil biodiesel is slightly higher than corn oil biodiesel, while olive oil biodiesel has the lowest viscosity.
