A comparative study of molar ratio effect on transesterification of Jatropha Curcas using kinetic and fuzzy techniques
Biodiesel is a biodegradable source of fuel that can be synthesised from edible, non-edible and waste oils through transesterification process. In this paper, we presented transesterification reaction of Jatropha Curcas oil by using sodium hydroxide catalyst at 150°C in batch reactor. Further, we designed the fuzzy model of the molar ratio and the performance evaluated by comparing fuzzy model ...

Biodiesel production from crude oil of Jatropha curcas and Pongamia pinnata by transesterification process
The present study is aimed to produce biodiesel from non-edible oil sources such as crude oil of Jatropha curcas and Pongamia pinnata by transesterification process which can occur at different temperatures (45°C to 70°C), depending on the oil used. For the transesterification of J. curcas oil (methanol 15% of oil and 12 g NaOH/litre), the reaction was studied with different temperatures. It was ...

Statistical evaluation of the early-stage development of Jatropha energy plantations in Northeastern Mexico
A systematic evaluation of agricultural factors affecting the adaptation of the tropical oil plant Jatropha curcas L. to the semi-arid subtropical climate in Northeastern Mexico has been conducted. The factors studied include plant density and topology, as well as fungi and virus abundances. A multiple regression analysis shows that total fruit production can be well predicted by the area per ...

Biofuel scenarios in a water perspective: The global blue and green water footprint of road transport in 2030
Concerns over energy security and climate change stimulate developments towards renewable energy. Transport is expected to switch from fossil fuel use to the use of fuel mixtures with a larger fraction of biofuels, e.g. bio-ethanol and biodiesel. Growing biomass for biofuels requires water, a scarce resource. Existing scenarios on freshwater use usually consider changes in food and livestock ...
