Abstract

Density (r) and kinematic viscosity (µ) are important physical properties of a liquid fuel. In this work, two empirical models were proposed. One for estimation density and the other for estimation kinematic viscosity of fatty acid ethyl ester (FAEE) at different temperatures from its carbon numbers and number of double bond(s). Both models were the expansion of Martin’s rule of free energy additivity. Data collected from literatures were used to validate, and support the proposed models. The proposed equations are easy to use and the estimated density and kinematic viscosity values of FAEEs at different temperatures agree well with the literature values.
