Modeling of the Hydrocracking Reactor by the CESE Method

In this article, the improved space-time conservation element and solution element (CESE) method are used to simulate the dynamic treatment of the hydrocracking reactor. The dynamic model consists of four lumps: vacuum gas oil (VGO), middle distillate, naphtha, and gas which is dissolved by this method. The offered method can solve the partial differential equations caused by the reactions inside the hydrocracking reactor. In this study, both temperature and mole fraction variables are solved explicitly and simultaneously. In the CESE method, to obtain a suitable answer to the dynamic model, a CFL insensitive scheme was used which, for the CESE method to be stable, the CFL number should be less than 1. In this work, obtained results from the CESE method, in good agreement with the data industry. Outcomes illustrate that AAD% of the yield forecast for the middle distillate, naphtha, and gas are 3.33%, 2.56 %, and 6.47%, respectively. This method unlike other contractual numerical methods treats with space and time coordinates Similar.
