Effects of reaction temperature and inlet velocity of a bubble column reactor on the bubble size for biodiesel production

Bubble column reactors (BCR) are multiphase reactors used in the production of biodiesel. A bubble column reactor can withstand a higher temperature and provide higher efficiency in the process. During the transesterification process in the bubble column reactor, the bubble will be produced and will...
