In the fascinating realm of polymerization, the calculation of heat reaction plays a crucial role. Let's dive into hypothetical examples of polyethylene and polypropylene production, and examine the calculations based on production rate and reaction enthalpy, considering well-established literature in the field.

📊 Average Production:
Polyethylene: 44,000.00 kg/h
Polypropylene: 22,000.00 kg/h

📝 Calculation Step 1: Heat Reaction (HR) 🌡️
To determine the heat reaction, we multiply the production rate by the reaction enthalpy:

Polyethylene HR = 44,000.00 kg/h * 0.825 kcal/kg = 36,300.00 Mcal/h
Polypropylene HR = 22,000.00 kg/h * 0.319 kcal/kg = 7,019.05 Mcal/h

💡 Moving on to calculating the reaction enthalpy:

📝 Reaction Enthalpy (kcal/kg)
Ethylene: 23.10 kcal/mol / 0.028 kg/mol = 825 kcal/kg
Propylene: 13.40 kcal/mol / 0.042 kg/mol = 319 kcal/kg

📝 Heat of Polymerization of Monomer (kcal/mole)
Ethylene: 23.10 kcal/mol
Propylene: 13.40 kcal/mol

📝 Molecular Weight (g/mol)
Ethylene: 28.00 g/mol
Propylene: 42.00 g/mol

📝 Conversion from g/mol to kg/mol:
Ethylene: 28 g/mol / 1000 = 0.028 kg/mol
Propylene: 42 g/mol / 1000 = 0.042 kg/mol

These calculations provide us with insights into the heat reaction involved in the polymerization process of ethylene and propylene.

 It's important to note that these calculations are based on established literature and serve as hypothetical examples for understanding the energy requirements in polymer production.
