Investigation of the capability of quantitative structure-reactivity correlations (QSRC) relationships in reducing the number of kinetic parameters required for the description of the hydrocracking of n-octane. QSRC helps reducing the number of the kinetic parameters and also in properly describing the hydrocracking reactivity. The prediction for other n-alkanes is significantly improved by an additional fitting parameter. The SEMK method is more adequate to the extrapolation to other feedstocks due to the higher amount of fundamental information on the reactivity intrinsically present in the model.
