Analysis of mixing in stirred vessels using CFD: waste cooking oil transesterification

A stirred laboratory reactor for transesterification of waste cooking oil (WCO) has been modeled using ANSYS 12 workbench. The reactor is used to evaluate the kinetics of reaction for oil transesterification. The internal configuration of the reactor is considered important to model the reactive...
