Abstract
AbstractA computer study was made to determine the thermal ignition criteria and ignition boundaries for chain‐addition polymerization in a well‐mixed batch system using a simple kinetic model. The occurrence of thermal runaway was shown to be a function of initiator type, feed conditions, and heat transport parameters. It was found that thermal runaway does not occur early with respect to monomer and initiator conversions and that for strongly dead‐ending systems, the sensitivity characteristic of ignition disappears. The role of various dimensionless parameters in characterizing reaction behavior is also discussed.
