Abstract
Biodiesel is considered as the most possible renewable energy and it can be used as an alternative of petrol based fuel. Jatropha curcas plant oil (JCPO) is the most cost effective sources of biodiesel. The plant can be cultivated in wastelands and grows on almost any type of territory, even on sandy and saline soils. Suitable plantation and defense from disease of JCP is very much requisite to get maximum amount of qualitative oil. Moreover, production of biodiesel through transesterification of Jatropha oil significantly depends on four reaction parameters for instance reaction time, temperature, oil to alcohol molar ratio and stirrer speed. In this research work, initially we have formulated a mathematical model of Jatropha curcas plant, which describes the disease of JCP through mosaic virus with the aim to control the spread of this disease. Here we have focused on insecticide spraying in impulsive way as the controlling measure to reduce the disease for getting the maximum yield of Jatropha fruits, which gives Jatropha oil. We have also shown the effect of different variants on mass transfer in biodiesel production from JC oil and how the control theoretic approach paves the maximum production of biodiesel under the mathematical understanding. Our analytical results provide an idea of describing the cost effective faster rate of biodiesel production, which satisfies our numerical outcomes.
