The density of the reacting mixture is 875 kg/m3 (time taken = 1.5 h). 2 Once the reaction mixture has reached 95″C, a solid catalyst is added, and reaction takes place while the batch of reactants is stirred. The required conversion is 94% (time taken = 2.0 h). 3 ………………………………………………………………………………………. 4

Students would be exposed to all of the processesand chemical engineering concepts related to biodiesel production including reactions,separations, fluid flow, heat and mass transfer, process control, thermodynamics, and materialand energy balances. The goal was to introduce students to the fundamental concepts at a highlevel while providing an opportunity to see how the concepts are integrated while exploring in ahands-on laboratory.

mixture contains two components: a solute (A) and a liquid solvent (B). The mixture is contacted in an agitated vessel with a second liquid solvent (C) that has two key properties: A dissolves in it, and B is immiscible or nearly immiscible with it. (For example, B may be water, C a hydrocarbon oil, and A a species that dissolves in both water and oil.) Some of the A transfers from B to C and then the B-rich phase (raffinate) and the C-rich phase (the extract) separate from each other in a settling tank. If the raffinate is then contacted with fresh C in another stage, more A will be transferred from it. This process can be repeated until essentially all of the A has been extracted from
