A computer program for the evaluation of non-isothermal kinetic parameters

A program for the evaluation of non-isothermal kinetic parameters is presen ted. The program allows evaluation of the kinetic parameters under constant heating rate or constant reaction rate conditions. The simulation of tempe rature vs. conversion curves is also possible. A regression method is inclu ded, which allows a discrimination between various conversion functions and also evaluation of the activation parameters. The program was tested with various simulated decomposition curves and the non-isothermal decomposition curves of calcium oxalate. The program is writ ten in Visual BASIC 4.0 and can be run under Windows 95 (C).
