Fine chemicals & polymers — reaction meets rigorous separation
Synthesis and purification on one canvas: free-radical polymerization with molecular-weight kinetics, Arrhenius reactors, and high-purity solvent-recovery distillation.
A free-radical polymerization CSTR reporting molecular weight, alongside a reactor + distillation solvent-recovery loop — reaction and separation on one editable canvas.
Polymer kinetics (method of moments) + separation
The radical balance and monomer conversion feed a moment closure for the number/weight-average molecular weight and polydispersity — steady-state averages, not a full chain-length distribution — and the column resolves the solvent-recovery split.

Free-radical CSTR with method-of-moments Mn, Mw, and PDI.
General rate-law CSTR/PFR for reaction-plus-separation trains.
Wang-Henke MESH column solver — the same rigorous solve at any scale.
Stream conversion, Mn/Mw, and column composition tags from your reactor/column train into this flowsheet's twin comparison — deviations from the solved kinetics are flagged automatically.
