Abstract

Neural networks have been applied in countless applications for so many years. From engineering, financing, administration, business, medicine; neural networks have been explored and employed especially in predicting and modeling a system or process. In recent years, biodiesel has become the major topic in science and engineering researches. In parallel with this current trend in science and engineering, neural network practitioners have taken one step further to advance into this field. This work focuses on the application of neural network in the field of biodiesel.
