Hello,
in the ebullated bed hydrocracking process (T>400°C, H2 pressure~150bar), typical reactions are thermal cracking of heavy molecules (which creates radicals) and catalytic hydrogenation (which stabilizes those radicals).

I would like to know the typical rates of these reactions? I think this is not specific to petroleum, but are reactions that occur in global chemistry. Therefore, in other terms, I would like to know if one reaction is always preponderant?
r(cracking) > r(hydrogenation) or r(cracking) < r(hydrogenation)??

Thanks a lot.
