PY - 2019 DA - December Y2 - 2019 JF - The International Journal of Materials and Engineering Technology JO - TIJMET PB - Necip Fazıl YILMAZ WT - DergiPark SN - 2667-4033 SP - 46 EP - 53 VL - 2 IS - 2 LA - en AB - Theinability of oils and hydroelectric sources to meet the ever growing demandexperienced in global energy in recent years has generated a lot of concern.The continuous increase in the demand for energy and the dwindling tendency ofpetroleum resources has steered endless search for alternative renewable andsustainable fuel. This study adopts a novel combination of Principal ComponentAnalysis (PCA) and Kendall’s Coefficient of Concordance (KCC) to analyze somefactors that affect rubber seed oil-based biodiesel production which has beenfound to be a good substitute and most advantageous over petrol diesel becauseof its environmental friendliness. The KCC was used to analyze the data matrixgenerated by thirteen Judges who were requested to rank the thirty-one variablesidentified from relevant literature to influence biodiesel production in descendingorder of importance upon which basis an index of concordance in ranking amongthe judges was computed as W = 0.84. PCA was used to analyze the outcomes ofthe questionnaires crafted with thirty-one of the well-ordered variables,purposively selected, using statistiXL software. The results obtained by KCC providebasic insight into how consistence the Judges were in ranking the variableswhile the results by PCA shows that significant parsimony was achieved infactor reduction from thirty one variables to mere seven factors which representthe principal factors that influence rubber seed oil-based biodieselproduction.
