Abstract
A mathematical model has been developed to compute the molecular weight distribution (MWD) in the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) manufacturing process. Unlike the previous efforts, this model takes into account the influence of side reactions and various interchange reactions on MWD. The process of blending of molten polyester chips has also been simulated with a view to calculate the equilibrium MWD as well as the time required to reach the equilibrium MWD. The1 significance of the results has been discussed in terms of industrial operations involving PET polymerization and PET blending.
