This study addresses the challenges that

Not much research has been carried out to examine Participatory Bank (PB) in Turkey. This is despite the fact that Turkey has a long history in Islamic civilisation. The legacy of strong Islamic law, the majority Muslim population, and the strategic location of the country have failed to serve as a catalyst to boost the market share of participator

According to Chowdhury, Ghosh, a

This work is presented as part of a study to model transesterification of waste cooking oil (WCO). At an alcohol:oil mole ratio of 6:1 and catalyst 2% (oil wt) the Taguchi method was used to design and analyze the experimental result for WCO transesterification in a 2 Liter stirred reactor using Rushton and Elephant ear impellers. The orthogonal ar

A stirred laboratory reactor for transesterification of waste cooking oil (WCO) has been modeled using ANSYS 12 workbench. The reactor is used to evaluate the kinetics of reaction for oil transesterification. The internal configuration of the reactor is considered important to model the reactive flow assuming a uniform velocity profile in the tank.

There is a growing need to explore more sustainable and alternative sources of oil as a result of the increasing demands for oils both for human consumption and other industrial applications. The aims of this work were thus; to determine the effect extraction temperature, time and solvent type on oil yield from Nahar (Mesua ferrea L.) seed kernels
