The effect of Imperfect mixing model parameters on Residence Time Distribution in Autoclave reactor for Ethylene polymerization

Three compartment models of mixing performance in LDPE autoclave reactor have been analyzed. All models have two main parameters as controlling parameters which controls deviation from perfectly mixing assumption. The residence time distribution functions for each model has been determined by use of single input-single output (SISO) model, and RTD has been extracted by introducing proper input. It was shown that the presence and the values of the recycle stream have significant effects on the shape of the RTD function, which means affect the fluid particle age and degree of reaction or conversion in a polymerization reactor
