Simulation and optimization of a continuous biodiesel plant using nonlinear programming

The continuous production of biodiesel is achieved through a sequence of stages such as reaction, absorption, decantation, and product distillation. These steps require certain performance criteria that must be optimized. Several works have addressed the optimization of the design of biodiesel plant...
