Effect of Mixing and Reaction on a fast Step Growth Polymerization**
-
Abstract
A polyurethane reaction under different mixing rates and reaction rates are studied in an adiabatic batch reactor. Results are explained by using a slab model and dimensional analysis. Four characteristic times are used to describe the interactions of mixing, diffusion and chemical reaction, which may serve as conceptual guidelines in determining the proper reaction rate and mixing power for a specific reaction system.
