Abstract:
In this research a biodiesel production reactor is developed and fabricated in production workshop located in Mechanical engineering school (SUST) using available material in the workshop. The performance of the reactor is 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 litters of biodiesel from 4.5 litters of oil) addition to glycerineand soap as by-product.
