Notes:
A computer model was developed for tubular high-pressure polyethylene reactors. Plug flow and absence of axial mixing were assumed. Emphasis was placed on realistic modeling of the reaction kinetics and the variation of physical properties along the reaction coordinate. A good simulation of axial temperature profiles, conversion, molecular weights, molecular weight distribution, and transport properties along the reaction coordinate is believed to have been achieved. The model can be extended readily to cases where radial diffusion is significant.
