Abstract

Highlights: [•] Ceiba pentandra biodiesel was prepared by two-step transesterification. [•] The main FAC of C. pentandra is 18.54% of malvalic acid. [•] Engine performance and emission are conducted for CPME and its blends. [•] The CPB10 gives the best engine performance at 1900rpm. [•] The CO, HC and smoke opacity were lower for all biodiesel blends. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
