Abstract
Cetane number of diesel fuel for compression ignition engine is one of main properties for fuel ignition quality. Recently the cetane index has been replaced the cetane number in order to resolve the disadvantage of CFR engine test, but these two value have slightly difference values due to addition of various additives. In this study, we analyzed the cetane number, derived cetane number and cetane index for diesel fuel which was blended with various ratios of biodiesel, kerosene and cetane improver as additives. As a result, Cetane number showed the similar value with derived cetane number, but cetane index showed quite different value with cetane number when biodiesel and cetane improver were used as additives.
