Abstract:
The most important physical parameter of any fuel is its energy content which is usually described by its specific inferior calorific value. The inferior calorific values of two biodiesels, rape seed methyl ester (RME) and soy bean methyl ester (SME) have been determined by precision bomb calorimetry to 37088.9 ± 11.0 J g-1 and 36998.7 ± 8.2 J g-1, resp.
