Abstract
The coupling of reaction and mass transfer was investigated for the thermal cracking of thin films of an Athabasca vacuum residue. Thin films of the vacuum residue were coated on the interior of a stainless steel tube and then heated to 530 °C using induction heating. Vapor products were swept out of the reaction zone with nitrogen, and reactions in the liquid phase were allowed to proceed to completion. Coke yield, total liquid product, and gas make were determined for initial film thicknesses ranging from 10 to 80 μm. Product qualities of the liquid samples were characterized by high-temperature simulated distillation and microcarbon residue concentration. The coke yield decreased as the film thickness was reduced, while the yield of distillate products (<524 °C boiling point) increased. As the film thickness was reduced, the mode of mass transport shifted from bubbling in thick films to diffusion through a stagnant thin film. These results were consistent with a decrease in the trapping of cracked products in coke as the film thickness was reduced, because of more effective transport of products out of the liquid phase. A mathematical model was developed to analyze the results and to estimate the diffusivity of gases in the reacting liquid phase.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
