Abstract

The main aim of this study is to assess the electrical characteristics pertaining to a biodiesel derived from peanut oil mixed with magnesium oxide (MgO) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nano-additives. After synthesizing biodiesel from peanut oil by the transesterification process, it is combined with MgO and ZnO nano-additives in varying proportions: 100 ppm MgO, 100 ppm ZnO and 50 ppm MgO + 50 ppm ZnO, of the overall volume. The measurement and analysis of biodiesel blends necessitate consideration of crucial electrical parameters, including breakdown voltage, resistivity, permittivity and electrical conductivity. A positive association was found between the quantity of nano-additives and resistivity. The potential cause for the enhancement of the electrical properties might be attributed to the dispersion of the nano-additives. The peanut oil dispersed with 100 ppm MgO exhibited desirable dielectric properties.
