The effect of centrifugation at 5000 rpm on crude palm oil characteristics / Nasrul Syamin Burhanordin

The main objective of this experimental study is to determine the effects of the centrifugation of CPO by means of centrifuge it at 5000 rpm to reduce its viscosity in order to be one of alternative energy to ordinary diesel fuel. The characteristics to be measure are the density (kg/m3), energy con...
