The obtained results from simulation agree qualitatively with the existing experimental data. The kinetics data for each step of suggested mechanism are confirmed by simulation. By using the mechanism and kinetics data, the system is simulated at different methanol/oil feed ratios and a comparison between kinetic data is provided. The influences of temperature and percentage of catalyst on the amount of produced biodiesel at different times of reaction are obtained.
