✦ Synopsis

A dynamic model f o r emulsion polymerization in a tubular reactor has been developed and compared with experimental data. The model uses an axial dispersion coefficient to fit experimentally measured residence time distributions and to represent axial mixing during reaction. Very general emulsion polymerization kinetics

are assumed so that a wide range of monomers and operating conditions can be handled. Orthogonal collocation on finite elements was chosen as the numerical solution technique. Comparisons show good agreement between model and experiments for two different monomers.

A concrete simulation model which deals with the hydrolytic polymerization of c-caprolactam (CL) in the tubular reactor (TR) with the heat exchangers (HEx's) was described, and a method for its numerical solution was presented. The numerical calculations were carried out for 13 cases, where the posi
