Currently, the petrochemical industry uses furnaces to produce ethylene, the main element of which is radiant coils designed for the decomposition of straight-run gasoline into pyrolysis gas, which is the main product for producing ethylene. In radiant coils, the gasoline decomposition process must take place at a temperature of about 800 °C with a high heating rate in order to avoid coking of the coils. Heat is supplied by radiation from the inner lining of the furnaces heated by the flame of flat-flame gas burners. For radiant heat transfer to occur, the surface of the coils must have a high degree of blackness. This article presents the developed technology for coating heating surfaces with shungite and the results of increasing their emissivity to intensify radiant heat transfer. Measurements of the emissivity after electrospark alloying were carried out by the radiation method, according to which, according to Kirchhoff’s law, the emissivity is equal to the emissivity at equal temperatures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
