NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF BENZENE HIGH-TEMPERATURE PYROLYSIS

The paper examines experimental data presented in the literature on benzene pyrolysis obtained by various registration methods for the consumption of benzene itself and the yield of its products. The temperature ranged from 900 to 2200 K and the pressure ranged from 0.04 to 5 MPa. Numerical modeling was carried out using a number of different detailed kinetic mechanisms (DKM), as presented in the literature. In different temperature ranges, it was demonstrated that numerical simulations using different DKMs present different results. Me temperature range and the corresponding DKMs are determined by the results of numerical modeling when their usage coincides most closely with the experimental data. It is determined that the DKMs presented in the literature are only able to qualitatively describe the experimental data at 5 MPa.
