Kinetics of Butadiene Polymerization in the Presence of the TiCl4-Al(i-C4H9)3 Catalytic System Physically Modified in Turbulent Flows: Results of Computational Experiments

Аннотация

The influence of the velocity of feeding the reaction mixture to a tubular turbulent diffuser-confuser apparatus and of the geometric parameters of the apparatus on the fields the flow turbulence kinetic energy and its dissipation rate was revealed in computational experiments with a model reaction, polymerization of butadiene in toluene in the presence of the TiCl₄-Al(i-C₄H₉)₃ catalytic system physically modified in turbulent flows. Correlation between the fields of the flow turbulence kinetic energy and its dissipation rate, on the one hand, and butadiene polymerization rate, on the other hand, is considered.
