[0066] The following example illustrates the efficacy of the reactors of the invention to maintain essentially isothermal conditions in chemicals and especially polymerization reactions.
[0067] Polystyrene mass polymerization technologies are differentiated by the configuration of the main polymerization reactors used to bring conversion from 30% to 45% solids to 65% to 85% solids. During the course of the polymerization reaction large amounts of heat is evolved. If this heat of reaction is not removed, the reactor temperature will increase causing an unwanted and uncontrolled spread of the polymer molecular weight which adversely affects polymer properties.
[0068] A polystyrene mass polymerization is conducted in a reactor according to the invention consisting of a jacketed vertical pipe containing several straight heat pipes onto which are fitted a number of fins. The inside of the heat pipes is covered with a porous medium from which a heat transfer fluid is vaporized to provide ...
