Vegetable Oil Conversion To Biodiesel

Hi,

I'm currently conducting a research paper on the conversion of a minimum of five different vegetable oils (rapeseed, canola, cononut palm oil, etc.) to Biodiesel through two process reactant sets:
1) Methanol & NaOH
2) Ethanol & NaOH

In this paper, calculations of the thermodynamics & kinetics of the reactions, expected yield and differences in the products chemical structure will be described.

The paper will include thermodynamics, kinetics, and mass & energy balance.

I'm having a very hard time searching for the suitable information for this particular topic. I've looked for past published works from professional journals, but never seem to encounter them, especially material that's free.

I'm probably looking in the wrong direction. Please give me a reply if you've any information regarding this topic! You're help is greatly appreciated.

hello jen, this is sanjay here.
i saw this message of yours and thought would like to help you. moreover i think i can work with you in this project.

firstly, let me know where is your lab or your work place and what exactly is your problem in the thermodynamics or the kinetics part of it.

iam a petrochemical engineer and right now doin my mtech in health safety and environment at university of petroleum and energy studies, dehra dun.

so you can mail me at "sanjaykumar_16@yahoo.com"
