Oil and gas properties in catalytic cracking settlers
Thread Content
Dear sea friends, do you know how to determine the viscosity, specific heat, and thermal conductivity of the oil and gas in the settler of a catalytic cracking unit? How much is it approximately? Thank you all for the active exchanges.
Your question is really difficult; it’s not possible to take samples of such oil and gas for analysis, as the temperature is so high. Even if a cooler is used, the data obtained from the analysis will still be different.
Hello, then, can the composition of oil and gas be estimated? For example, what is the proportion of CH4? What is the proportion of other molecules?
This can be approximated based on the composition of the product; most chemical process simulation software uses this approach to simulate certain components.
