The delayed coking process is one of the common thermal process technique that used to improve the quality of heavy oil. In this process, heavy feeds such as vacuum residues have been heated in the furnace to temperatures up to the 480-500 °C. For the cracking reactions the heated feed have been sent to the drum that is placed after the furnace. Since the reactions begin inside the furnace and coke is one of the products, deposited on the wall of the tube. With the deposition of coke on the tube wall and the reduction of heat transfer, the temperature of the tube have been increased with the increasing of the flame temperature to save constant heat flux. Therefore, the study of thermal...
