        With 10 gm. of Ni-Co catalyst a bore of 13 mm. is most favorable.  The smaller the bore the greater is the formation of gaseous hydrocarbons.  The volatility of the benzine formed is dependent upon the bore and length of the reaction tube.  The best length of reaction tube for a bore of 13 mm. or less is approximately 30 cm.  A 20-mm. reaction tube must be longer than 50 cm.  With constant bore the decrease of reaction tube length promotes the formation of gaseous hydrocarbons.  With decrease in tube length the most favorable reaction temperature decreases.  The volatility of the benzine formed is increased.
