- (a) In the process plant, the polymerization process is ongoing. In the middle of the reaction a strong inhibitor is added while maintaining the same temperature. After some time, again initiator is added. This is followed by addition of accelerator at the end. Draw the polymerization reaction rate curve as a function of time.
(b) In the process plant, the polymerization process is initially inhibited by the addition of inhibitor. The polymerization starts when the inhibitor is consumed. Later on, an accelerator is added. This is followed by inhibitor addition. Draw the polymerization reaction rate curve as a function of time.
