Simulation of radical polymerization process (reversible mechanism of chain transfer) has been carried out by making use of ANSYS FLUENT software package. The process was running in the volumetric mixing reactor. The adequacy of the developed macrokinetics model was shown by the comparison of experimentally obtained and calculated in the software package ANSYS FLUENT values of polystyrene molecular-weight characteristics.
