Ms. Ren Yu is born on May 2, 1994, is engaged in the research of chemical reaction engineering. Focusing on the simulation and optimization of the steam cracking reaction process of molecular naphtha, she has conducted naphtha molecular reconstruction modeling methods based on common macroscopic physical properties and comparison, and generated automatic reaction network of the free radical mechanism model of steam cracking naphtha. The simulation and optimization of naphtha steam cracking process by artificial neural network, the simulation and performance comparison of hydrocarbon cracking process initiated by small molecule additives at low temperature, and the mechanism of hyperbranched polymer pyrolysis initiated by hyperbranched polymer additives are investigated. As (co-) first author, she published 4 SCI articles in the mainstream Chemical Energy journals Chemical Engineering Journal, Energy, Fuel, Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research.
