Gray Box Modeling of Supercritical Nimbin Extraction from Neem SeedsUsing Methanol as Co-Solvent

摘要

In this paper yield of nimbin extraction from neem seeds using supercritical carbon dioxide with methanol asco-solvent has been studied. In this case mass transfer coefficient in terms of Sherwood number has been estimated by aneuro-fuzzy network. Then the estimated mass transfer coefficient has been fed to the system model which is set of partialdifferential equations. The proposed gray box model was validated with experimental data.
