Effect of process parameters on yield and conversion of jatropha biodiesel in a batch reactor

In a quest for environmental friendly energy source with least pollutants emission due to issues of global warming coupled with dwindling reserve of the fossil fuel, researchers have intensified study on renewable fuels. Among these renewable energy sources, biodiesel stands prominent. Biodiesel pr...
