    Abstract: A method for determining the density of an at least flowable, in particular liquid, specimen with a rheometer, in particular a rotational rheometer, includes providing the rheometer with a first measurement component for receiving the at least flowable, in particular liquid, specimen, and a second measurement component with a known volume to be immersed into the specimen. The first and second measurement components are movable relative to one another. The perpendicular force between the two measurement components is measured after the immersion of the second measurement component into the specimen. The measured perpendicular force corresponds to the buoyancy force acting between the specimen and the second measurement component. The density of the specimen is calculated based on Archimedes' principle by reference to the known volume of the second measurement component and the measured perpendicular force. A rheometer for carrying out the method is also provided.

    Abstract: The invention discloses a device for viscosity or viscoelasticity measurement comprising: a horizontal rotatable cylinder-shaped section for receiving a liquid whose viscosity or viscoelasticity is to be measured, and a torque meter for measuring the torque from said liquid while in rotation. It also discloses a method of measuring viscosity or viscoelasticity of a liquid comprising the following steps: placing a liquid into a horizontal rotatable cylinder-shaped section, said liquid partially filling said structure; rotating said structure at a speed such that a quasi-cylindrical inner free surface of the liquid is obtained; determining the torque from said liquid when rotating said partially filled structure and calculating the viscosity or viscoelasticity of the liquid from the torque determined in the previous step.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for controlling a polymerization reactor in a non-sticking regime are disclosed. An exemplary method includes measuring parameters for the polymerization reaction including a reactor temperature and a concentration of an induced condensing agent (ICA) in a polymerization reactor. An equivalent partial pressure ((PICA)equiv) of the ICA is calculated. The polymerization reactor operation is located in a two dimension space defined by a reactor temperature dimension and a ((PICA)equiv) dimension. The location in the two dimensional space is compared to an non-sticking regime, defined as the space between an upper temperature limit (UTL) curve and a lower temperature limit (LTL) curve. Parameters of the polymerization reactor are adjusted to keep the reactor within the non-sticking regime.
