Abstract
A freeβradical polymerization with kinetic equations taking into account monomer, polymer, and solvent transfer and initiation, termination, propagation, and inhibition reactions was studied both experimentally and by simulation to determine the performance of various Kalman filters, with feasible measurements used.

## Abstract Temperature rises which occur in the early stages of polymerization in batch reactors are discussed. Comparisons between experimental results and a reactor model shows that realistic predictions of temperature rises can be made when the model allows for changes in density and specific h
In Part I of this series (1985, Chem. Engng Sci. 40, 1891) the chain length distribution of polystyrene produced in a batch stirred tank reactor was estimated. The estimation procedure applied was based on a mathematical process model and the measured signals of temperature and refractive index. In
