Tube skin temperature prediction of catalytic reforming unit (CRU) heaters

The maximum duty of reformer heaters is governed by the occurance of maximum tube skin temperature of the heaters. The value of maximum tube skin temperatures of the heaters must not exceed theirs' maximum allowable design temperature. The paper highlights the simulation of the tube skin temper...
