Biodiesel production via injection of superheated methanol technology at atmospheric pressure
TL;DR: In this article, an alternative and innovative approach was carried out via non-catalytic superheated methanol technology to produce biodiesel, where the solvent need to be heated beyond the critical temperature but the reactor pressure remained at 0.1 MPa (atmospheric pressure).
10th International Conference on Mechanical Engineering, ICME 2013 Modelling of Engine Performance Fuelled with Second Generation Biodiesel
TL;DR: In this paper, an engine combustion model has been developed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, AVL Fire, which can predict the engine performance, and emission characteristics for second generation biodiesel produced from Australian native beauty leaf seed (BLS).

Biodiesel from rapeseed oil (Brassica napus) by supported Li2O and MgO
TL;DR: In this article, a heterogeneously catalysed biodiesel production with solid oxides such as mayenite (Ca12Al14O33) and alumina (Al2O3) as catalyst carriers using edible rapeseed oil as feedstock was studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
In-depth study of continuous production of biodiesel using supercritical 1-butanol
TL;DR: In this paper, a continuous production of biodiesel from canola oil in supercritical 1-butanol (SCB) was thoroughly examined in order to investigate the detailed reaction behavior and elucidate the reaction kinetics.

A review on biodiesel production using catalyzed transesterification
TL;DR: In this article, the main factors affecting the yield of biodiesel, i.e. alcohol quantity, reaction time, reaction temperature and catalyst concentration, are discussed, as well as new new processes for biodiesel production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Progress and recent trends in biodiesel fuels
TL;DR: The most important variables affecting methyl ester yield during the transesterification reaction are the molar ratio of alcohol to vegetable oil and the reaction temperature as discussed by the authors, which is the commonly used alcohol in this process, due to its low cost.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of biodiesel composition, properties, and specifications
TL;DR: In this paper, the fatty acid (FA) profiles of 12 common biodiesel feedstocks were summarized, and it was shown that several fuel properties, including viscosity, specific gravity, cetane number, iodine value, and low temperature performance metrics are highly correlated with the average unsaturation of the FA profiles.
