Abstract: | The frequent publication of contradicting or meaningless kinetic parameters and the resulting criticism of the “ill-conditioned nature” of non-isothermal reaction kinetics led the authors to an examination of the sensitivity of kinetic parameters to experimental errors. Using simple mathematical deductions, conditions were given at which about 10% precision of the kinetic parameters can easily be achieved. To obtain a graphic picture about the information content of a thermoanalytical curve and the effect of the systematic measurement errors, mathematical relationships were deduced to show the dependence of the kinetic parameters on the formal (geometric) characteristics of the thermoanalytical curves. |
