Abstract

Energy consumption in non-catalytic biodiesel production is still high, and needs to be reduced to the optimum level. It can be accomplished by recirculating the heat being used in the process by using heat exchanger. The objective of this study is to analyze the energy ratio of the system as influenced by the heat recirculation through a heat exchanger. This experiment used a superheated methanol vapor method for non-catalytic biodiesel production. The study was started with the determination and calculation of physical and thermal properties of materials to be used (palm olein, methanol, and methyl ester), continued with the designing of the heat exchanger, the experiment itself, and the energy ratio analysis. The process was occured in semi-batch mode with 3 levels of methanol flow rate, i.e., 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5 mL/minute, at reaction temperature of 290 °C. The results show that heat recirculation by using heat exchanger can increase the energy ratio from 0.84 to 1.03, according to the definition that energy ratio is the ratio between energy content of the biodiesel to the total energi of the feedstock and the process energy. If the energy ratio is defined as the ratio between the increase in energy content of the biodiesel from its feedstock to the process energy, the energy ratio was found to be 7.85, 2.98, and 2.87 for the respective methanol flow rate of 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5 mL/min.

Abstract

The transport properties of several food materials have been presented as fundamental information to determine the drying rate of freeze-drying process. As an example, the measuring method of thermal conductyvity and permeability has been demonstrated for the sample of slices and mashed aplles undergoing freeze drying. Both samples were freeze - dried at constan surface temperatur ranging from -10 to 70 under the usual pressure range of commercial operation. A mathematical model, based on quasi-steady state analys, was formulated and then apllied to the drying data to determine these transport properties for the dried layer of the sample undergoing freeze drying. Values of thermal conductivity were found to be almost the same between sliced and  mashed samples. However , the permeability data of mashed aplles were more than 4 timer greather than that sliced aplles.
