Project
Coupling transport phenomena and intrinsic kinetics for free radical polymerization processes
The aim of this project is to account for the interaction between transport phenomena and chemical reactions in free radical polymerization processes. In the framework of this project, the evolution of the particle size distribution in a suspension polymerization process and the importance of mixing effects in high-pressure olefin polymerization processes will be modeled.
