A continuous free-radical polymerization: an Arrhenius CSTR converts monomer and reports the number/weight-average molecular weight (Mn, Mw) and polydispersity from a method-of-moments closure — the numbers a specialty-polymer plant tracks.

The flowsheet

The solved topology — every unit op's real duty, conversion, or split, read straight off a genuine converged solve.

The stream table

Every stream's flow, temperature, pressure, and composition — real converged numbers, not placeholders.
