According toThailand�s renewable energy development plan, biodiesel is one of the interesting alternative energies. In this research,\nbiodiesels B5 and B20 are tested in amarine engine.The experimental results are then compared by using three different techniques\nincluding (1) the conventional technique, (2) average of the point-to-point comparisons, and (3) a comparison by using quadratic\nprediction models. This research aims to present the procedures of these techniques in-depth.The results show that the comparison\nby using quadratic prediction models can accurately predict ample amounts of results and make the comparison more logical.\nThe results are compatible with those of the conventional technique, while the average of the point-to-point comparisons shows\ndiverse results. These results are also explained on the fuel property basis, confirming that the quadratic prediction model and the\nconventional technique are practical, but the average of the point-to-point comparison technique presents an inaccurate result. The\nbenefit of this research shows that the quadratic prediction model is more flexible for future science and engineering experimental\ndesign, thus reducing cost and time usage. The details of the calculation, results, and discussion are presented in the paper.
