I want to perform an optimisation analysis for our vertical coil radiation/horizontal convection type CDU heater, what key components are important to consider? how should I approach this type of study? what software is best to simulate a model for realistic operational considerations?

Sudden malfunction of gasoline fuel pumps immediately after refueling, observed across multiple vehicles fuelling from different petrol stations, suggests systemic fuel quality issues or environmental factors. What would be the potential causes for this phenomenon on a structured and evidence-based analysis! Please consider Successful Testing for the Gasoline Samples inspected from different Petrol Stations and Vehicles Fuel tanks! Thank you!

Residue Hydrotreating. 1: Has anyone experienced reaction temperature runaways associated with crude atmospheric residue hydrotreating reaction? What would be the range of possible temperature rise to be expected? 2: Typically, there's about 30 deg C of temperature margin between max peak catalyst bed temperature and the reactor design temperature. Has anyone had the experiences operating higher and closer to the design margin especially towards EOR of catalysts life? What needs to be assessed to achieve that?

May some one give his line of thoughts (with references- quoting Unit design capacities) about potential (may be intermittent or continuous) Waste Water (liquid) effluent composition from Post Carbon capture Unit (PCC) using secondary amine as CO2 absorber and it's way of disposal (May be Waste Water Treatment Unit or Thermal Oxidizer or any better way)

I'm a senior at a university majoring chemical engineering and I'm facing an interview with an oil refinery. I'm looking for materials that describe the structure and principles of the entire oil refinery and petrochemical production facilities. Please recommend articles or books that collect information on the level of college students to graduate students.
