A COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT MODELING APPROACHES FOR THE SIMULATION OF THE TRANSIENT AND STEADY-STATE BEHAVIOR OF CONTINUOUS EMULSION POLYMERIZATIONS IN PULSED TUBULAR REACTORS
Dynamic mathematical models are developed to simulate styrene emulsion polymerization reactions carried out in pulsed tubular reactors. Two different modeling approaches, the tanks-in-series model and the axial dispersion model, are compared. The models developed were validated with experimental dat...
