Abstract:In this study a typical continuous lumping model with five parameters has been used for kinetic modeling of thermal and catalytic hydrocracking. Model parameters have been optimized according to experimental product distributions using a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. Experimental data from the hydrocracker setup have been employed to validate the proposed model. In this setup hydrogen and vacuum gasoil feed were introduced from the top of a vertical reactor and, after passing through a catalyst … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
