A computer algorithm is proposed for the numerical analysis of non-iso
thermal kinetic measurements. There are no inherent limitations with r
espect to the complexity of the reaction mechanism and the temperature
profile. The kinetic differential equations are expanded to take into
account temperature variation. Numerical integration is performed, us
ing higher order Runge-Kutta or Gear algorithms. The results of the an
alysis are the activation parameters of the rate-constants. The revers
ible, acid catalyzed esterification of cyanoacetic acid in ethanol ser
ved as a test. The activation parameters for esterification and hydrol
ysis reactions were determined and confirmed by classical analysis.
