Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Thermodynamic parameters for the reactions of vacuum distillate catalytic cracking in a riser reactor have been calculated using the density functional theory. The list of the reactions has been compiled on the basis of laboratory studies on determining the group and structural-group composition of the vacuum distillate and the results of thermodynamic analysis. A kinetic model of the catalytic cracking process has been developed on the basis of a formalized scheme of the hydrocarbon conversion mechanism. By using the kinetic model derived, the effect of the group composition of four vacuum distillate samples on the octane number and the composition of the gasoline fraction of the catalytic cracking process has been assessed.
