Does anyone know of consultants who can provide a CFD model of a Low Density Polyethylene autoclave reactor? The model would include: fluid mixing due to a stirrer and due to reactor feeds, temperature gradients, and reaction kinetics.

hi,

see the works of : - Nolan K. Read, Simon X. Zhang and W. Harmon Ray : "Simulations of a LDPE reactor using computaional fluid dynamic", AICHE J. vol 43, No: 1, 104-117, 1997
