Abstract As commercially produced polymers become more of a commodity product, rather than a specialty product, there is a growing need for a more detailed understanding of the phenomena taking place in the polymer reactor. One quantitative form of this process understanding is the mathematical model, which can represent the detailed behavior of a polymer reactor. The mathematical model is an invaluable tool for developing the optimal design and optimal control system for these reactors.
