Kinetic Analysis
Based on measured experimental data from a targeted design of experiment, a set of kinetic parameters (e.g. number of steps, reaction types, activation energies, reaction order) can be derived through the kinetic analysis. These results can be used for further predictions and optimizations of the measured processes.
| Application examples |
| Prediction of reaction progress and optimisation of the temperature control (e.g. thermal decomposition, curing or sintering processes) |
| Implementation of the kinetic models in spatial space-resolved temperature field simulations (Finite Element Model) |
