Optimization of Alkali Catalyzed Transesterification of Safflower Oil for Production of Biodiesel

The Central Composite Design is used for the optimization of alkaline catalyzed transesterification parameters such as methanol quantity, catalytic concentration, and rotational speed by keeping the temperature and reaction time constant. The Central Composite Design method is employed to get the ma...
