제목 CFD modeling for the geometry design and scale-up of the polymerization reactor
초록 In the polymerization process, product quality and grade are mainly determined by the molecular weight distribution (MWD). However, the MWD generation inside of the reactor is easily affected by the non-ideal mixing in industrial scale, because the polymer reaction occurs much faster than species transport in large scale. Therefore, the flow pattern should be properly understood and designed during scale-up and reactor design process.

Thus, this study proposes a platform model to investigate the scale and reactor geometric effect on the flow pattern and resulting MWD generation inside a reactor. To reduce the computation burden caused by MWD calculation within full CFD runs, PGF transformation is proposed. In this transform, each molecular term is projected on virtual z-domain, so the reaction is efficiently solved on virtual z-domain in CFD, then inverse-transformed to original domain. The model successfully revealed the effect of length/diameter ratio and blade geometry on the product MWD.
