- Abstract
A mathematical model is developed for the arborescent polyisobutylene system in a batch reactor, using multidimensional method of moments, to predict the concentrations of monomer and inimer as well as number and weight average molecular weight. This model is significantly efficient in computation, making parameter estimation practical. Simulation results agree with results obtained by Monte Carlo simulations. Parameter estimation results show that using the weight average molecular weight data provide better overall fit than leaving them out in the previous model.
