CFD SIMULATION AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON HYDRODYNAMIC BEHAVIOUR OF TRANSESTERIFICATION REACTION IN MICROCHANNEL REACTOR

Biodiesel as a renewable resource is important to overcome the future energy security due to the depletion of fossil fuel. Reaction of transesterification with vegetable oil and methanol is possible at room temperature, however the reaction is very slow due to the limitation on the mass transfer of...
