Synthesis of a new biodiesel fuel, namely, isopropyl ester of rapeseed oil, is described. The performance properties of the synthesized product, other diesel fuels, and petroleum fuels are compared. The results of computational studies of the efficiency indices of diesel engine running on various fuels are furnished. It is concluded that the synthesized biofuel is of a high quality and can be used in diesel engines.
