This paper establishes a mathematical method for calculating the polymerization process of industrial vinyl chloride suspension polymerization reactors. The polymerization rate, weight average molecular weight (WAMW), number average molecular weight (NAMW), monomer conversion rate and pressure are displayed throughout the reaction. Applying this model to existing experiment in the literature, the results are close. The final simulation results will be used to guide the industrial production of polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
