Re: What factors contribute to high yield?
Hello Troy
I could see that my first post was confusing as I used the work Biodiesel to mean Methyl esters.
If you think it was wrong that is fine with me
I am glad you now understand my edited version.
If you wish to participate on a home brew biodiesel forum is probably better that you learn the language than expect everyone to change to your way of talking..
Perhaps this explanation by Neutral on the Infopop Forum will help you to understand better.
"Yield is the amount of product divided by the amount of starting material
Conversion is the proportion of methyl ester in the product."
It is so simple when you read it that way. I can not recall Neutral ever having a problem understanding the difference between yield and Conversion.
Perhaps that was because he has a PhD in chemistry.
I do not understand the blond joke. What is a 710 cap?
