Highlights Effect of CH3OH slugs size & methanol/oil ratio is studied on oil conversion. Biodiesel oil and methanol are separated inline by using a membrane separator. 98% oil conversion is achieved at room temperature in 80 seconds. Additional factor of number of slugs enhances the oil conversion. Recirculation pattern is observed in slug by experiment and CFD method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
