Modeling and Simulation in Polymer Reaction Engineering: A Modular Approach

Front Cover
John Wiley & Sons, May 29, 2018 - Technology & Engineering - 320 pages
Introducing a unique, modular approach to modeling polymerization reactions, this useful book will enable practitioners - chemists and engineers alike - to set up and structure their own models for simulation software like PrediciŪ, C++, MatLabŪ or others. The generic modules are exemplified for concrete situations for various reactor types and reaction mechanisms and allow readers to quickly find their own point of interest - a highly useful information source for polymer engineers and researchers in industry and academia.
