TY - JOUR AU - Kurganov, V. AB - PETROLEUM REFINING EQUIPMENT THERMAL DESIGN OF REGENERATORS AND COKE HEATERS FOR CONTACT-CATALYTIC PROCESSES (UDC 001.24:66.092.4) I. A. Vakhrushev and V. M. Kurganov Translated from Khimiya i Tekhnologiya Topliv i Masel, No. 11, pp. 36-41, November, 1965 Usually, when making calculations on combustion of solid fuel in the boiler equipment, and of petroleum coke in the contact-catalytic processes of the petroleum refining industry, no account is taken of the changes in chemical composition that occur with time as the fuel burns up. Accordingly, the ability of the fuel to produce heat is assumed constant, in an amount corresponding to the original chemical composition [1-3]. If we consider only the combustion in layers Of the solid fuel (coke) which is often encountered in the contact- catalytic processes of the petroleum refining and chemical industries, this approach is not correct except in calcula- tions on continuously operating single-section apparatus where the fuel is burned up completely (we have in mind mechanical completeness), and ideal mixing of the layer occurs. There are no other cases in which the ability of the fuel to produce heat during combustion can be assumed constant. The thing is that, in the majority of cases, solid fuel, including TI - Thermal design of regenerators and coke heaters for contact-catalytic processes JF - Chemistry and Technology of Fuels and Oils DO - 10.1007/BF00719193 DA - 2004-11-17 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/springer-journals/thermal-design-of-regenerators-and-coke-heaters-for-contact-catalytic-60DPbs0CpM SP - 866 EP - 870 VL - 1 IS - 11 DP - DeepDyve ER -
