Thermal cracking 1-24 INDEX

The severity index allows an approximate evaluation of the conversion by thermal cracking of the other hydrocarbons in the feed by meansjaf equations such as ...

Diesel Indexes of thermally cracked distillates are so low that scarcely any information is available in the literature. 

Sepe and co-workers [13] found that automotive components consisting of a metal insert over-moulded with impact modified glass fibre reinforced PET cracked adjacent to the insert following thermal shock testing (100 cycles at -40 to 180 °C). The melt flow index of the material increased by 140% on drying prior to moulding.
