Abstract
A kinetic model for transesterification is developed by incorporating composition specific reaction kinetics to simulate biodiesel extraction from cotton seed oil. The developed model with a prediction accuracy of 3.02% is used to analyse the effect of methanol to oil ratio, reaction time, process temperature and catalyst weight percentage on biodiesel yield. From the parametric analysis, the optimum values for M/O ratio, reaction time, catalyst weight percentage and reaction temperature are identified as 6:1, 1 h, 1% and 60 °C for cotton seed oil transesterification.
