Abstract
Abstract A polymerization reactor constructed with a cylindrical vessel having a vertical axis and a coaxially disposed chimney at the upper end. A stirrer system is provided in the lower portion of the vessel. The ratio of the chimney inside diameter to the inside diameter of the cylindrical vessel is between 0.20 and about 0.33. The chimney has a volume exceeding 2.5 percent of the actual volume of the reactor.
