CFD Simulation of an Industrial Reactor for Thermal Cracking of 1,2-Dichloroethane

CFD Simulation of an Industrial Reactor for Thermal Cracking of 1,2-Dichloroethane

Abstract The vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) is commercially produced on a large scale by thermal cracking of 1,2-dichloroethane (EDC) in a tubular reactor immersed in a furnace. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to simulate and predict the performance of an industrial reactor. The reactor co...
