Q & A > Question Details
About DCU. Can someone tell me if there's a mathematical correlation, study, paper or model that relates furnace metal tube´s temperature and transfer line temperature?. I need to estimate operative circles between decoking with different scenarios and I don't have much data about these.

Modeling of delayed coker furnace involves a variety of physical phenomena such as heat transfer, chemical reaction, phase equilibria and two phase flow. The mathematical modelling involves a set of coupled ordinary differential equations & a set of algebraic equations which are to be solved simultaneously. Literature is available in this respect.
