Response surface modeling for glycerol optimization in transesterification of coconut oil

This study employed natural type of bicubic spline to model the response surface of glycerol wherein the second derivatives were equated to zero. Data sets was divided into subrectangles. To ensure continuity and smoothness, several conditions were imposed on the piecewise bicubic functions at every...
