Palabras clave:
biodiésel, transesterificación, modelado cinético, software de código abierto, PythonResumen
El modelado cinético de transesterificación requiere herramientas accesibles y potentes. Este trabajo presenta un sistema unificado código abierto coordinando módulos especializados mediante interfaz de línea de comandos, demostrando versatilidad a través de seis casos de uso: procesamiento cromatográfico (3.2~s, 20 pasos manuales reducidos), calibración de parámetros (R^2=0.9844, 24.7~s), optimización multi-objetivo (93\% conversión, 112~s), comparación de modelos mecanísticos (diferencia <0.3\%), análisis factorial (192 simulaciones, 87~s) y escalado de reactores (350~mL a 20~L, <0.1\% error). El sistema bajo licencia MIT proporciona alternativa accesible al software comercial ($50,000--$100,000 USD anuales), democratizando herramientas de simulación para instituciones con recursos limitados.Referencias
