Effect Of Liquid-Solid Contact On Thermal Cracking Of Heavy Hydrocarbons In A Mechanically Fluidized Reactor, Mitesh C. Chaudhari
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
The aim of the thesis was to study the effect of liquid-solid contact on the thermal cracking of heavy hydrocarbons carried out in Fluid Cokers. The research has been carried out using a Mechanically Fluidized Reactor (MFR) in which the operating conditions of the Fluid CokingTM reactions can be simulated and monitored. The first part of the research, aimed at investigating the effect of agitation on liquid-solid contact, which was carried out by changing the rotation speed of the agitator of the MFR for both non-reactive as well as for reactive systems. In both situations, it was observed that …
