A two-phase dynamic model, describing gas phase propylene polymerization in a fluidized bed reactor,was used to explore the dynamic behavior and process control of the polypropylene production rate and reactor temperature. The open loop analysis revealed the nonlinear behavior of the polypropylene f...
