Control of Molecular Weight Distribution in Batch Emulsion Polymerization using PID Controller: Case Studies, PP. 462-466 Keywords: Molecular weight,Heat load,manipulative variable,PID Abstract: Two Control strategies are developed to control the molecular weight in emulsion polymerization by manipulating flow-rates of water stream of jacket in first case study and the power of heater in another study. The control strategies were validated with experimental data of emulsion polymerization using Methyl methacrylate as monomer. PID controller is used to control the temperature of the reactor in both the case studies.
