Abstract

Bio-diesel is the most valuable form of renewable energy that can be used directly in any existing, unmodified diesel engine. In these paper comparative study of different techniques of Bio-diesel production is done. In These paper the review of transestrification via acid, alkali and enzyme catalyst is carried out as well as modern techniques of transesterification such as methylation with Diazomethane, sodiummethoxide, Borontrifluride, Solid catalytic, Non catalytic conversion and Supercritical Methanolysis is presented. Nine practical processes of biodiesel production are introduced along with the brief review on acid catalysis bio-diesel production.Keywords: Closed loop Pulsating Heat Pipes (CLPHPs); working fluids; Nano fluids.
