The present investigations aim to prepare the biodiesel using methyl esters of waste fish oil and waste coconut oil to determine the Physico-Thermal properties of combined biodiesel. The study investigated biodiesel blends (15%-90%) from MEWFO, MEWCO, and MEWFCO with diesel. Through meticulous analysis, significant physico-thermal properties (calorific value, density, and kinematic viscosity) were determined, revealing insights into their comparative performance. This analysis enriches our understanding of biodiesel characteristics and holds promising implications for optimizing biofuel formulations in the energy sector. Notably, these developed models demonstrate exceptional statistical significance, boasting a confidence interval of 95%. Moreover, the coefficient of determination for predicted Physico-thermal properties—calorific value, kinematic viscosity, and density—stands remarkably high at 98.38%, 99.58%, and 98.87%, respectively. Such robust predictive accuracy not only enhances our understanding of biodiesel characteristics but also holds profound implications for optimizing its utilization and production processes.
