英文摘要：

A mathematical model for an industrial low-density polyethylene（LDPE） tubular reactor was established in order to investigate the distribution of important variables inside the reactor.The model was built by moment method based on the kinetics of free-radical polymerization and combined with mass,energy and momentum balance.The profiles of variables along the reactor including temperature of processing stream,concentration of initiators,conversion,number and weight average molecular weight and melting index of LDPE could be determined by solving the model.The model was proved accurate compared with industrial data such as temperature,ethylene conversion and melting index at reactor outlet.Meanwhile,the profile of temperature along the reactor predicted by the model can reflect the fouling condition inside the reactor and provide indication or supervision for fouling.To sum up,the model with the swiftness and high accuracy can be employed as soft sensor and on-line monitor for industrial plant;therefore,it can provide reliable information for operation optimization,decision making and accident prevention.
