Modelling and Simulation of a Batch Poly(Vinyl Chloride) Reactor

A population balance model for batch suspension polymerization of vinyl chloride is presented. Break up into two equal volumes of droplets, binary aggregation and random mass exchanges between the colliding droplets are assumed, while the kinetic data of vinyl chloride polymerization are taken from...
