The second stage of batch poly(ethy1ene terephthalate) (PET) reactor with bis(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (BHET) as the feed has been simulated. In this stage, the overall polymerization is not diffusion limited and is known to be a complex reaction. In this work it has been assumed to consist of
## Abstract A comprehensive model for a semibatch ester interchange reactor has been developed with a view to investigate the effect of various process and operational variables on the DMT conversion rate as well as the byβproduct formation. The influence of important variables such as EGβtoβDMT ra
A comprehensive kinetic model for a semibatch direct esterification reactor has been developed. The solid-liquid equilibrium of terephthalic acid was considered in the modeling. Effects of the monomer feed ratio, reaction temperatures, and oligomer addition on the conversion, degree of polymerizatio
