Ethylene and propylene are among the light olefins which are the main building blocks in
the petrochemical and chemical industry. They are produced from thermal/catalytic cracking …

Steam cracking of hydrocarbons is and will continue to be the main industrial process to
produce light olefins in the coming decades. In state of the art steam cracking plants more …

Although steam cracking is a mature technology, mitigation of coke formation remains one of
the main challenges in the petrochemical industry. To increase the olefin output of existing …

Applications of process systems engineering (PSE) in plants and enterprises are boosting
industrial reform from automation to digitization and intelligence. For ethylene thermal …

Recently computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been successfully applied for the
evaluation of the start-of-run performance of three-dimensional (3D) coil geometries in …

Whereas detailed kinetic models have already been implemented widely in computational
fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of gas-phase processes, CFD modeling of reactive gas …

Coke formation during steam cracking of gas and liquid feedstocks comprises a catalytic
coke formation phase followed by a pyrolytic coke formation phase. At present, only a very …

Spherical dimples are implemented in heat exchanger channels to enhance heat transfer at
a low pressure drop penalty. This combination of enhanced heat transfer and low pressure …

Spherical dimples in cylindrical tubes enhance heat transfer and lead to a more uniform
radial temperature profile. To combine these positive properties with a low pressure drop, a …

A microreactor system consisting of membrane‐dispersion tube‐in‐tube microreactors and
delay loops was developed for the continuous synthesis of 1‐ethoxy‐2, 3‐difluoro‐4‐iodo …
