cyclopentadiene monomer vapor;
(iii) means for agitating a body of heat transfer fluid
contained within said vessel;
(iv) means for introducing a monomer free molten
dicyclopentadiene feed below the surface of an agitated body of

to introduction thereof into said heat transfer fluid contained
in said reaction vessel;
(vi) means for rapidly removing monomeric
cyclopentadiene vapor from the surface of an agitated body of
heat transfer fluid contained in said reaction vessel; and
