The biodiesel from non-edible crops is a line of work to apply in agricultural communities fundamentally. In this work the use of mixtures of diesel-biodiesel of castor oil in a 7.46 kW generator set with a diesel engine was studied. The behavior of different mixtures of diesel-biodiesel and pure diesel was studied at different loads of the generator set and the fuel consumption was measured as a response variable. A multiple linear regression model in the statistical program SSP was used to process the data. A mathematical model with an adjustment R2, able to predict the consumption for different mixtures and at different loads was obtained. In field conditions, its energy performance can be determined from the variables studied and thus, determine the consumption required in each case.]]></p></abstract>

El biodiesel a partir de cultivos no comestibles, es una línea de trabajo para aplicar en comunidades agrícolas fundamentalmente. En el trabajo se estudia el uso de mezclas de diesel-biodiesel de aceite de higuerilla en un grupo electrógeno de 7.46 kW con un motor diesel. Se estudió el comportamiento de diferentes mezclas de diesel-biodiesel y diesel puro a diferentes cargas del grupo electrógeno y se midió el consumo de combustible como variable respuesta. Los datos fueron elaborados por un modelo de regresión lineal múltiple en el programa estadístico SSP. Se obtuvo un modelo matemático con un ajuste R2, capaz de predecir el consumo para diferentes mezclas y a diferentes cargas. En condiciones de campo se puede determinar el desempeño energético del mismo a partir de las variables estudiadas y determinar así el consumo necesario en cada caso.]]></p></abstract>
