A process model based on the thermodynamic models of Sanchez–Lacombe and PC-SAFT EoS is developed to simulate and analyze the impact of vaporized n-hexane as an induced condensing agent on the rate of gas phase ethylene polymerization on supported catalyst. The simulation results of the process mode...
