The optimisation of the ethylene cracking process is fundamental to modern petrochemical production, where refining hydrocarbon feedstocks under high temperatures results in the formation of valuable ...

Settlement cracks are usually thin, often less than 3mm wide, and appear relatively straight or slightly irregular. These ...

The cracking process in Longmaxi formation shale was experimentally studied during uniaxial compressive loading. Both the evolution of the three-dimensional fracture network and the micromechanics of ...

Separating crude oil into its several constituents is the function of the oil refinery. The crude oil is put into a still and heated. The molecularly lighter substances are given off, beginning with ...
