THE PURPOSE. The purpose of the work was to systematize the results of the work of domestic and foreign authors on the thermophysical properties of media and substances involved in the process of obtaining biodiesel fuel. METHODS. To measure the isobaric heat capacity, the predominant use is given to the methods of heat-conducting and scanning calorimeters, the measurement of the thermal conductivity by the heated filament method. Kinematic and dynamic viscosities are measured, respectively, on standard glass viscometers at atmospheric pressure and by the drop weight method. RESULTS. The results of a study of a wide range of thermophysical properties of thermodynamic systems involved in the process of obtaining biodiesel fuel under supercritical fluid conditions are presented. Attention is paid to the density, isobaric heat capacity, thermal conductivity, dynamic and kinematic viscosity of both the feedstock and the resulting biodiesel fuel, presented in a wide range of temperature and pressure changes, including nearcritical, as well as taking into account the thermal effects caused by the dissolution and change in the structures of substances under the influence of fluid reagent. CONCLUSION. The presented data will be necessary at the stages of designing and scaling a particular technology for the production of biodiesel fuel, both on a laboratory scale and at an industrial level.
