| Abstract | Biodiesel synthesis using conventional batch system and by conventional heat source has a lot of limitations. The loss of heat, difficulty in scaleup are few of them. In this proposed PoC we develop the continuous flow microwave assisted biodiesel production using the microwave probe. Also, the physical prototype and experiments will be carried out. The design and fabrication of several parts such as probe, glass flow reactor, pump for carrying the continuous operations will be developed. After the performance of experiment at lab scale, the product analysis will also be carried out to compare it with the standards. |
