Modeling of biodiesel reactor using fuzzy logic

Sastry SVAR, Ramachandra Murth

Abstract

Transesterification reaction is reaction carried out by varying different parameters, like ratio of methyl alcohol to oil, amount of catalyst in reaction, temperature and stirring on the reaction; to find the beat conversion of oil to biodiesel. This reaction is replacement of alcohol group from an ester by another alcohol. Fuzzy logic is applied to the transesterification reaction studies and the result is compared with experimental results.
