Is there anyone who could help for the problem I am working in my research. Actually, I am working on hydrocracking of methyl esters, especially methyl oleate (C18:1) to convert into C8, C9 and C10 as a liquid bioject, during the experiment the reaction take place at higher temperature 350C and pressure of 40 bars. At the bottom of the reactor the liquid is flowing with 40bars at 350C pass through to the needle value, similarly the bull value used to control the gas passing through condenser. The problem of my experiment is that, how to get liquid from 40 bars into vapour at 1bar from the condenser? If there any application can be used to cool the pipe coming from the bottom of reactor before passing to the needle value?
Kind regards,
Peter Mponzi
Hello Peter
I did not understand your problem. Are you trying to get liquid from vapor or vapor from liquid or anything else?? can you provide a diagram? If your answer is no, we can go through the followings:
Consider a block box (the process that you are looking for . for instance a condenser). Then specify the inlet condition (pressure , temperature , phase ,.. ) and your desired outlet condition. That would be so helpful to understand the problem.

Hello Peter
I hink that after the needle valve, at 1 bar, there will be wet vapour, i.e. a mixture of gas and liquid droplets.
If you want just liquid, it must have a pipe, between the condenser and the valve, and you have to remove heat energy trough it, as keeping it into a pot with running water.
if you want more dry vapour, make a pipe after the valve, and heat it by a suitable way.

Hello Peter,
I think you have to make your question more explicit. If you are interested in converting vapor into liquid, you need to subject it to a very high pressure putting into consideration the maximum allowable burst pressure of your pipping system.
Gentleman, thank you for your suggestions and hints too, Apology if my question was not straight forward. I do admit all suggestions you provide. Today I success to get liquid fuels (i.e. biojet) from my samples. Thank you all.
