We present a method for the adjustment of parameters in the mathematical modeling of industrial tubular reactors for high pressure polymerization of ethylene. We propose a reduced mathematical model for these reactors that aids in the task of model parameter update commonly done periodically in industrial plants. This reduced model was built from a detailed model for multiple peroxide and oxygen initiator systems we had developed before. Some of the assumptions in that rigorous model were reviewed in order to minimize computational effort. Good and fast

  • Software eases web-gauge control.
    • A new mathematical model from Eurotherm's Gauging Group in Billerica, Mass., can make diebolt mapping--normally a hands-on, engineering-intensive process--almost as easy as hitting a few computer keys. Introduced just this month, the model is the latest in a progression of software improvements to CIMLine, the company's computer-integrated manufacturing package for ......
  • Mathematical modelling in glass melting technology. (Melting Technology).
    • Modelling procedures play an important role in the investigation of glass melting technology and furnace design. The first stage of mathematical modelling involved various calculations of heat and mass balance of the glass furnace. These 'balance models' are still used in practical furnace engineering or as a particular procedure in ......
  • Volume thermoplastics to challenge higher-cost 'engineering' resins.
    • Volume Thermoplastics To Challenge Higher-Cost 'Engineering' Resins Much like engineering resins, developments in high-volume or "commodity" thermoplastics in the 1990s will hinge on new copolymer and alloy technologies. The results will be especially apparent in polyolefins. With new ways of making higher-performance, "engineering-level" grades, commodity thermoplastic producers say their materials ......
  • Titanium pyridyl-phosphinimide complexes--synthesis, structure, and ethylene polymerization catalysis.
    • Abstract: A series of Ti-pyridyl-phosphinimide complexes of the form Cp'Ti[X.sub.2][[NP[R.sub.2](2-C[H.sub.2]Py)] (Cp' = Cp, Cp*, R = i-Pr, t-Bu, X = Cl, Me) have been prepared and characterized. These complexes generate ethylene polymerization catalysts upon activation with MAO or B[([C.sub.6][F.sub.5]).sub.3]. The resulting polymers exhibit broad molecular weight distributions. The role of ......
