Characterization of a continuous micro-scale pilot unit for petroleum residue hydroconversion with dispersed catalysts: Hydrodynamics and performances in once-through and recycling mode

TL;DR: In this paper, a continuous micro-pilot unit has been designed to convert petroleum residues with dispersed catalysts, and several operating conditions (residence times and temperatures) have been investigated using the molybdenum naphthenate as catalyst precursor.

Temperature Histories in a UHT Indirect Heat Exchanger

TL;DR: In this paper, an indirect UHT processing system was modeled by a computer program to predict the temperature profile of a mass element of fluid as it progressed through heating, hold and cooling units.

Theoretical Analysis of Heat Integration in a Periodically Operated Cascade of Catalytic Fixed-Bed Reactors

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple model based on the assumption of a hypothetical countercurrent of the solid phase is derived and compared with a standard dynamical model of the reactor cascade, and the reduced model describes the limiting case for an infinitely segmented cascade and allows assessment of important properties of the periodic process.

Laminar dispersion in helically coiled tubes of square cross‐section

TL;DR: In this article, the orientation of the cross-sectional plane with respect to the direction of the centrifugal force has been shown to have a significant effect on residence time distribution (RTD) which has been recognized for the first time.

The Definition and Measurement of Some Characteristics of Mixtures

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that the important features of such mixtures can be expressed by two statistically defined quantities, the scale and the intensity of segregation, and methods of measuring these are suggested.
