New Approach to Improving Fuel and Combustion Characteristics of Black Soldier Fly Oil

This study proposes a new approach to improve the fuel properties of Black Soldier Fly crude oil (BSFO) by blending it with diethyl ether (DEE). DEE was chosen due to its ideal characteristics such as its low viscosity and high Derived Cetane Number (DCN = 139). Additionally, its low boiling point a...
