In this work, the ignition delay of jojoba bio-diesel and its blends with gas oil was measured. For this purpose, a shock tube test set up was designed and manufactured. It was fully instrumented for delay measurement with two piezo-electric pressure transducers, dual mode charge amplifier, data acquisition card, Laptop computer with suitable LabVIEW software. The test variables included the type of fuel, equivalence ratio, ignition temperature and ignition pressure. It was found that jojoba bio-diesel fuels exhibit a lower ignition delay than that of gas oil. Rich or lean mixtures produce...
