Further Work

Biodiesel fuels have a wide range of properties that differ with origin. It would be interesting to examine Jatropha biodiesels from different countries or locations and re- examine these assessments presented here in similar engines with or without advanced cycles. This should not only increase knowledge on the use of biodiesels in gas turbines, but also enable the development of current or future advances in gas turbine cycles and fuels.
