The results have shown that the majority of dry gas was formed during the catalytic cracking reaction of gasoline, with a small proportion of dry gas being formed through the thermal cracking reaction of gasoline. The ethylene content in dry gas formed during the catalytic cracking reaction was higher than that in dry gas formed during the thermal cracking reaction. The ethylene content in dry gas formed during catalytic cracking of gasoline with a higher olefin content was higher than that in dry gas formed during catalytic cracking of gasoline with a lower olefin content, which meant that the higher the amount of carbonium ions was produced during the reaction, the higher the ethylene content in the dry gas would be. An increasing reaction temperature could increase the percentage of dry gas formed during thermal cracking reaction in total dry gas products, leading to decreased ethylene content in the dry gas. An increasing catalyst/oil ratio could be conducive to the catalytic cracking reactions taking place inside the zeolite Y, leading to a decreased ethylene content in the dry gas. A decreasing space velocity could be conducive to the catalytic cracking reactions taking place inside the shape-selective zeolite, leading to increased ethylene content in the dry gas.展开更多

Maritime transport plays a vital role in world economy; whereas competition between maritime companies is fierce [1], at the same time agreements of co-operation have taken different forms including alliances and mergers between companies to increase their market share. But competitions still stand despite all alliances even in same market. This intense competition drives companies to attain high level of competitiveness, by monitoring ship's operating performance and operating cost, emphasis on improving performance and reduce cost. On other hand new environmental regulations come to light, expansion of ECA (emission control areas), which lead to significant higher fuel cost when using low sulfur fuel. Since the fuel cost is the largest portion of the operating cost of the vessel, a saving in fuel usage can result in considerable saving in operational costs. Furthermore, fuel saving has environmental benefits in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The aim of this paper is to investigate the role of trim optimization which considers one of the easiest and cheapest methods for ship performance optimization and fuel consumption reduction trim optimization.展开更多
