seeds were collected. 99.9% pure analytical grade
methanol and potassium hydroxide in pellet form of above 85%
purity were used for the biodiesel production. The experimental
setup consists of a half litre four-necked batch type spherical glass
reactor, with a water-cooled condenser in one of the necks, a speed
controlled mechanical stirrer, a temperature controlled heating
mantle and a thermometer. The arrangement of the batch type
transesterification reactor used in the study is shown in
