A New Hierarchical Approach for Maximizing Biodiesel Mixing Ratio Based on the Final Product Specifications
In recent days, fossil fuel resources are decreasing day by day while the population number is continually increasing. This is why many researchers make their efforts to find new sources of energy, especially the renewable ones to compensate the deficiency of fossil energy. Biodiesel fuels are making its place as a key future renewable source and are attracting increasing attention worldwide as...
متن کاملOptimization of Biodiesel Production from Castor Oil Using a Microwave Via Response Surface Methodology (RSM)
The purpose of this research work was to investigate the optimum operating conditions for biodiesel production from castor oil using a microwave. The Box–Behnken design of experiment was carried out using the Design Expert 7. A response surface methodology (RSM) was used to analyze the influence of the process variables (molar ratio of methanol to castor oil, catalyst concentration, reaction ti...
متن کاملBiodiesel Production from Crude Cottonseed Oil: An Optimization Process Using Response Surface Methodology
Biodiesel, known as fatty acid methyl ester (FAME), was produced from crude cottonseed oil (triglycerides) by transesterification with methanol in the presence of sodium hydroxide. This process was optimized by applying factorial design and response surface methodology (RSM) with SAS and PSIPLOT programs. A second-order mathematical model was obtained to predict the yield as a function of metha...
متن کاملOn the prediction of properties for diesel / biodiesel mixtures featuring new environmental considerations
A model predicting 12 properties of diesel – biodiesel mixtures was developed. This was based on existing correlations capable of providing quality characteristics for the mixtures. The model was also used to maximize the biodiesel fraction in the dieselbiodiesel mixtures, while taking into consideration all product quality specifications as they are defined by Greek Legislation. The properties...
متن کاملProcess Optimization of Biodiesel Production Using Alkaline Catalysts
The most commonly used method for biodiesel preparation is via transesterification of vegetable oil using alkaline catalysts. Biodiesel yield and oil conversion are affected by operating conditions including the catalyst formulation and concentration. Application of alkaline catalysts can also lead to undesired soap formation. This study evaluated the alkaline catalyst effects on biodiesel yiel...
