Estimation of vegetable oil-based Ethyl esters biodiesel densities using artificial neural networks
In this study a new approach based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) has been designed to predict the density of various vegetable oil-based ethyl esters biodiesel. The experimental densities data measured at various temperatures from 15 to 90°C at 1 °C interval were used to train the networks....
