Abstract
This paper is concerned with performing laboratory scale alkali-catalyst transesterification for biodiesel reaction and ranking conversion and performance between a stirred tank reactor, and oscillatory flow meso reactors in both batch and continuous mode. The results show that a comparative conversion can be achieved for the same reaction conditions, thereby demonstrating that batch and continuous meso reactor configurations can be used for a high throughput screening biodiesel reactions.
