Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
125 words
A METHOD OF EFFECTING THERMAL TRANSFORMATION OF HYDROCARBONS WHICH COMPRISES CONTINUOUSLY BURNING A FLOWING MIXTURE OF FUEL AND GASEOUS OXIDANT WITHIN AN ELONGATED CHAMBER AND EXHAUSTING THE RESULTING GASES AT A STATIC PRESSURE NOT MORE THAN ABOUT ONE-HALF OF THE PRESSURE OF COMBUSTION AND THEREBY PRODUCING WITHIN SAID CHAMBER A HIGH TEMPERATURE ZONE IN AT LEAST PART OF WHICH THE GASEOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS FLOW AT A VELOCITY OF AT LEAST 1,000 FEET PER SECOND, THE RATE OF SUPPLY OF SAID MIXTURE OF FUEL AND OXIDANT BEING SUCH AS TO PRODUCE WITHIN SAID HIGH TEMPERATURE ZONE A TEMPERATURE OF AT LEAST 1400* K., INTRODUCING AN ALIPHATIC HYDROCARBON INTO SAID HIGH TEMPERATURE ZONE, QUICKLY COOLING THE REACTION PRODUCT-CONTAINING COMBUSTION PRODUCTS AND RECOVERING THE HYDROCARBON REACTION PRODUCTS THEREFROM.
