Re: Reduced oil temperature in reactor ?
Hi smithy,
As I read it Wesley mixed and then 13 hours later he passed a 3/27 test.
I do not recall which rule of thumb you are talking about.
These are the two rules of thumb I know of:
"The rule of thumb is that for every 10C the temperature is reduced, the reaction time doubles.
The rule of thumb is that it takes about 1 hour for the reaction to reach completion at 50C." (assuming adequate mixing vigor)
Of course that is for the standard single stage reaction. Perhaps magical procedures are different
I think the really remarkable thing is the fellow on the other forum used only 12% methanol for the reaction and his fall out was 92.5% glycerol
