Molecular weight conversion curve, optimum

Figure 5. Molecular weight-conversion contour map for various concentrations of a free-radical initiator operating in a tubular-addition polymerization reactor of fixed size. Curves were constructed using varying jacket temperatures (kinetic parameters for the initiator Ea = 32.921 Kcal/mol In k/ = 26.494 In sec f = 0.5 (------------------------) optimum operating line)...

Figure 7. Tubular plug-flow addition polymer reactor effect of the frequency factor (ka) of the initiator on the molecular weight-conversion relationship at constant activation energy (Ea). Each point along the curves represents an optimum initiator feed concentration-reactor jacket temperature combination and their values are all different, (Ea = 32.921 Kcal/mol In ka = 35,000 In sec ...
