Hi, My name is Christian and I«m quite new to this group. I«m currently finishing Environmental Engineering and to graduate, I must prepare a sort of thesis (actually, it«s not a thesis... it«s more of a thorough project).
Anyway, I was thinking of preparing biodiesel to run it on the lab«s diesel engine (a small boat outboard... not much HP) and eventually test NOx and CO emissions. So the question is, in the two stage process, are the 55 ¼C essential, or can the temperature be roughly a bit more. Actually, for my batch low-volume process, I was thinking of heating the stew with a closed circuit of water in copper pipes or something, heated by a fish-tank water heater and pumped by a small aquarium water pump. Does anyone think this is feasible? What are the ordinary "home methods" of heating the mixture at 55 degs for over an hour? Does the initial heating of the brew (until it reaches the 55 ¼C) count as time? Thanx. Christian [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
