M. Gunes et S. Gunes, The influences of various parameters on the numerical solution of nonisothermal DAEM equation, THERMOC ACT, 336(1-2), 1999, pp. 93-96
This paper describes the effect of some parameters on the numerical solutio
n of nonisothermal distributed activation energy model equation. Investigat
ed parameters are integral upper limits, integral interval number, heating
rate, frequency factor, mean of activation energy distribution and standard
deviation of activation energy distribution. In the numerical solution of
DAEM equation, 500 kJ mol(-1) value can be used for the upper limit of dE i
ntegral. The interval number of dE integral is better to be chosen as 50 bo
th to have no oscillations in the results and to keep the solution time sho
rt. Integration step size of dt integral must be automatically adjusted by
the program as numerical integration progressed. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science
