Coal fly ash is being utilized as a recycling material for catalysis due to its aluminosilicate content. Catalytic conversion of polymeric wastes into synthetic gasoline and diesel through pyrolysis requires application of kinetic and thermodynamic principles. This study aimed to identify the catalytic rate constant necessary for rate law involved in reaction mechanisms and activation energy reduction needed for heat transfer rate. Stoichiometric application for balanced total series of elementary reactions is solved for the concentration determination of reactants and products. Unsteady-state in three dimensional directions of thermodynamics is derived for the determination of heat transfer rate, temperatures at any position in a sphere using Gurney and Lurie chart and center temperature in a sphere by Heisler chart. Application principles of rate law and Arrhenius equation can result to thermal conductivity as a function of activation energy leading to synthetic fuel production.
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.
