An artificial neural network (ANN) was employed to predict biodiesel yield through microwave-assisted esterification of palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD) oil over TiO2‒ZnO mesostructured catalyst. The experimental data of biodiesel content (%) was carried out via changing three input factors (i.e. m...
