Claim Text:
1. A hydrocarbon conversion process, the process comprising: (a) providing a pyrolysis feed comprising hydrocarbon, wherein the hydrocarbon comprises ethane and/or C (b) providing a reactor including at least one thermal mass, and having a first zone, a second zone, and a reaction zone intermediate to the first and second zones; (c) passing the pyrolysis feed from the first zone to the second zone of the reactor; (d) transferring heat in the first zone from the thermal mass to the pyrolysis feed as the pyrolysis feed is passed proximate to the thermal mass; (e) passing the pyrolysis feed proximate to the thermal mass in the reaction zone to expose the pyrolysis feed to a peak pyrolysis temperature in the range of from 850° C. to 1200° C., at a hydrocarbon partial pressure ≧7 psia, to convert ≧10.0 wt. % of the hydrocarbon in the pyrolysis feed into a pyrolysis product comprising C (f) transferring heat in the second zone from pyrolysis product to the thermal mass to cool the pyrolysis product to a temperature below the peak pyrolysis temperature.
