Resolution of a system of mass balance equations that describe the polymerization of ethylene and ethylene and vinyl acetate at high pressure and temperature in an autoclave reactor. The validity of the method for optimization studies of industrial reactors has been demonstrated, as well as for the development of new polymers.
