Abstract

A general and rigorous new formulation of the multicomponent extension to the Mayo Lewis copolymerization equation is presented based in matrix notation. In contrast to the original Walling and Briggs formulation, which was based on determinants and difficult to apply in practice, this new formulation is explicit, easy to implement, and introduces a natural scaling to the problem. The approach is illustrated with calculation of instantaneous composition and compositional drift with conversion for 4 and 6 monomers.magnified image

## Abstract A new approximate formulation of the Koutecky function is proposed, with two new equations; one for the approximate calculation of the Koutecky function __F__(__χ__) in terms of its argument __χ__ and the inverse __χ__=__f__ [__F__(__χ__)]. Both use only two adjustable parameters, subst

A diagonally implicit method is shown to be an effective method for integrating the multicomponent species conservation equations. The constitutive equation for multicomponent diffusion is recast into a form analogous to that for binary diffusion, except that the diffusion coefficient is replaced wi
