Abstract:
In this research a biodiesel reactor was modified inthe production workshop located in the mechanical engineering school, (SUST). The performance of the reactor was evaluated by using soybean oil to produce biodiesel in the presence of methanol as alcohol and sodium hydroxide as a catalyst.According to proposed operation procedure the experiments is conductedin the reactor and biodiesel is produced in adequate amount (4 liters of biodiesel from 4.5 liters of oil) addition to glycerin and soap as by-product.
