Thermal crackers to produce cracked gasoline from heavy gas
oils in petroleum refineries have largely gone out of
existence and been replaced by fluid catalytic crackers and
hydrocrackers.
However, when they were used back in the 1930's and 1940's,
steam was always injected into the process tubes of the
fired heaters that raised the temperature of the gas oils
to the point where they cracked into smaller molecules ...
and the purpose of the steam was to inhibit the rate of
coking in the heater's process tubes so that the heaters
could stay online continuously for some months.
Today's delayed coking units in petroleum refineries are
designed to produce and lay down saleable coke in very
large vertical drums. In those delayed cokers, steam is
again used in the feed heaters to inhibit and delay the
coking from occuring until the heated, vaporized feed
reaches the large vertical coke drums.

Question 31 – For liquid benzene, the CP constants are : a = 129440, b = - 169.5, c = 0.64781. Reference temperature is 298 K. The temperature of benzene is 60 degree Celsius. Calculate the enthalpy of benzene by using the formula H = a (DT) + (b/2) (T^2 – TREF^2) + (c/3) (T^3 – TREF^3) where ^ is power, DT is temperature difference with TREF = 298 K. H is in J / kmol. DT = T – TREF.

BIOPROCESS ENGINEERING - EXAMPLE 14.2 : An aqueous solution with 2.5 g of a protein dissolved in 600 cubic centimeters of a solution at 20 degree Celsius was placed in a container that has a water-permeable membrane. Water permeated through the membrane until the h - level of the solution was 0.9 cm above the pure water. (a) Calculate the absolute temperature of the solution, T in Kelvin, where T (Kelvin) = T (degree Celsius) + 273.15. (b) Calculate the osmotic pressure, P of the solution by using the formula P = hrg where h is level of the solution, r is density of water with 1000 kg per cubic meter, g = 9.81 N / kg as gravitational acceleration. (c) Calculate the concentration of the protein solution, C in kg / cubic meter. (d) Calculate the molecular weight of the protein, (MW) = CRT / P where R = 8.314 Pa cubic meter / (mol K) as ideal gas constant.
