Lump Kinetic Method in Solving Kinetic Problems and Cracking Reaction Mechanism: A Review
Authors
Abstract
The development of an appropriate kinetic model for cracking reactions is essential for simulation and process optimization. These results are to be potentially used for proper reactor design. The complexities of oil gas inlet combinations have led to an increase in the challenges while defining and depicting kinetics on an intrinsic scale. Hence, complicated chemical reaction circumstances are characterized by combining many possible pathways into more modest groups of comparable chemical substances. In addition, cracking kinetic demonstrations is frequently carried out in lumped forms. This is due to the complex nature of the feedstock, which is known to contain enormous hydrocarbon associated with series and parallel reaction networks. The representation of complicated compounds by consolidating a large chemical component into small amounts of apparent components has been generally utilized in industry to generate a straightforward approach to stoichiometry, thermodynamics, and kinetics. Considering the importance of this lumped method, this study focused on studying the development of a kinetic lump approach to solve kinetic problems and cracking mechanisms.
