    Sizing a CSTR for transesterification reaction

    Hi, I need to size a CSTR for the transesterification of tri-glycerides into methyl esters (bio-diesel) by reaction with methanol and NaOH catalyst. The transesterification reaction taken place in 3 reversible steps: TG + CH3OH <--> DG + ME DG + CH3OH <--> MG + ME MG + CH3OH <--> C3H8O3 + ME...
