Polymerization Reactors: Interactive Simulation
This simulation was prepared using Mathematica. Download the free Wolfram player, and then download the simulation CDF file (link given below or click on figure to download).
Try to answer these questions before determining the answer with the simulation. We suggest that you write down the reasons for your answers.
- Which chain length is longer, the number average or the weight average?
- In a free radical polymerization, when the termination rate constant increases. what happens to the average chain length?
