Sustainability has been defined as the concept of meeting the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs [1]. Other definitions …

Biofuels, such as biodiesel, are good for the environment because they add fewer emissions
to the atmosphere than petroleum-based fuel. Conventional biodiesel processes are mainly …

Featured Application Mathematical models for continuous biodiesel reactors developed with
the methodology presented in this study can be used for economic analysis of supply …

Typically, the large-scale production of biodiesel involves continuous operation plants. Also,
the final biodiesel product has to comply with specifications imposed by standards of quality …

In this work, a novel methodology for the dynamic optimization of biodiesel batch production
is developed. Two problem statements are carried out. In the first approach, only the final …

In this paper, a comparison between intelligent controllers (Fuzzy Logic, Neuro-Fuzzy and
Adaptive), when they applied for a novel advanced microwave biodiesel reactor to produce …

This research focuses on the development of a state observer for performing indirect
measurements of the main variables involved in the soybean oil transesterification reaction …

In this work, the recursive least squares (RLS) algorithm, which traditionally was used in the
generalized predictive controller (GPC) framework solely for model adaptation purposes …

A dual adaptation generalized predictive controller (DA-GPC) capable of synchronous
modeling and tuning in real time is proposed. The distinctive feature of the proposed …

The industrial production of biodiesel requires mathematical models that adjust to real
conditions. The present study is a proposal for the design and validation of a mathematical …
