Model fitting for biodiesel yield analysis from crude palm oil (CPO)

This project involves the transesterification reaction of crude palm oil (CPO) to obtain palm oil biodiesel (POB). Five factors have been considered in the experimental design, namely reaction temperature, reaction time, agitation speed, molar ratio of methanol:CPO and Dosage of KOH. The factors wer...
