The polymerization of ARB type reversible step growth polymerization in semibatch reactors has been simulated. It is assumed that the condensation byproduct W and the monomer PI both can vaporize, but P, is refluxed back to the reactor. Raoults law as well as Flory-Huggins theory have been used to a

Mole balance for the molecular weight distribution in homogeneous continuos-flow stirred tank reactors (HCSTRs) for reversible step-growth polymerization has been written. The relation for the moment generating function G is found to be a nonlinear ordinary differential equation and has been solved
## Synopsis The differential equations governing the molecular weight distribution (MWD) in step-growth polymerization are coupled and nonlinear and a large number of them must be solved simultaneously to keep the truncation error low. In this work, these equations have been decoupled so that they
