Abstract
This research thrives to evolve a technique to estimate kinetic parameters of naphtha lump-feed. Steady state material and energy balance models were develop from first principles on the mole fractions of feeds and temperature. The research focused to minimize the objective function S used to search for optimum kinetic parameters of the feeds. The achieved optimum parameters were used to solve for optimum yields. The results of the activation energies are stated explicitly as 354950KJ/Kmol; 173566KJ/Kmol; 395001KJ/Kmol and 394005KJ/Kmol of P, N, A& G species respectively. The optimal -values gave updated -values of 5.63E-12; 2.46E-04; 1.76E-08 and 1.56E-08 of P, N, A & G. The deviations shows 0.425%, 0.535%, 0.0157% and 0.0951% and 0.57%, 0.361%, 0.65% and 12% for -values and -values of P, N, A, & G respectively.And, the values can be applied for any design and modeling research works.
