Abstract:
Artificial neural networks (ANN) are bioinspired algorithms used in various
engineering applications. The objective of this present study is to create a model algorithm for
biodiesel synthesis from the collected waste cooking oil utilizing artificial neural networks
(ANN). The factors consider to be influencing the biodiesel production are concentrations of
solutions, time and temperature, pH of the solution, and agitation speed. In previous trials,
methanol to oil ratio, sodium hydroxide to oil ratio, in addition to reaction temperature were
taken as in terms of independent type of variables and % biodiesel yield inulin as a dependent
variable. The results reveal that the 3-10-1 architecture of ANN provides goodness of fit to
predict the percentage yield of biodiesel. The prediction ability of ANN is assessed by the
coefficient of determination (R^2). The resultant R^2 value shows that the ANN predicted
values fitted well to the percentage yield of biodiesel.
