Thermophysical characterization of a new potential bio-oxygenate fuel formed by hexane, ethanol and diethyl carbonate

Key Points

• To characterize the thermophysical properties of a new bio-oxygenate fuel made from hexane, ethanol, and diethyl carbonate.
• Investigated vapor-liquid equilibria properties
• Measured dynamic viscosity
• Assessed surface tension properties
• Characterized thermophysical properties were reported
• Vapor-liquid equilibria showed stability in mixtures
• Dynamic viscosity and surface tension values were comparable to existing fuels
