THERMO-KINETIC RESEARCH METHODS FOR SIMPLE ORDER REACTIONS - ANALOG CURVE AND CHARACTERISTIC PARAMETER METHODS

In order to simplify the thermo-kinetic research method and study fast er reactions, two novel thermo-kinetic research methods, namely the th ermo-analytical analog curve and characteristic parameter methods, hav e been proposed in this paper. The general formulae for calculating ki netic parameter K-n and rate constant k(n) have been derived. The ther mo-kinetics of five reactions with first, second, third, and fractiona l orders, respectively, have been studied with these methods, and thei r validity has been verified by the experimental results.
