Notes:
The effect of monomer and initiator feeds to each of a series of continuous stirred tank reactors (CSTR) on the molecular weight distributions, average molecular weight, polymer production rate, and initiator and monomer conversions is studied for the termination-free polymerization system. For initiator feed concentrations less than 0.001 mole/liter, the distribution becomes narrower as the polymer progresses from reactor 1 to reactor 3. But for concentrations of initiator of 0.01 mole/liter, the distribution may be broadened from reactor 1 to reactor 3. The broadening of the distribution results in the production of a lower molecular weight polymer.
