Radical reaction schemes for the cracking of ethane, propane, normal and isobutane, ethylene, and propylene were set up. The kinetic parameters of these schemes were determined by fitting experimental data obtained under nonisothermal and nonisobaric conditions In a pilot plant. The set of continuity equations for both molecular and radical species was Integrated using Gear's algorithm for stiff differential equations. The reliability of the parameters was tested by simulating the cracking of binary and ternary paraffinic mixtures. A satisfactory fit of the results of mixtures cracking was obtained with a reaction scheme derived from the superposition of the schemes for single-component cracking.
