What is it about?
This CFD model follows the work by Fontoura et all (Fuel 110 (2013) 196-203) and estimates the gas and coke formation inside a tube of a petrochemical furnace.

Why is it important?
Coke deposits inside petrochemical furnace pipes should be minimized and little is known about its formation. The idea of this project is estimate the phenomena and indicate ways in which coke formation can be minimized.
Perspectives
Develop a CFD model that along with experimental data of the oil being heated can estimate conditions that lead to the formation of less coke during the heating process.
