Prerequisites

Kinetic data

The first step is to obtain experimental kinetic data (e.g. from FTIR, DSC or rheological experiments). These data should be stored as .txt or .csv files containing four columns arranged in the following order:

1. Time (in \(s\))

2. Temperature (in \(K\))

3. Reaction rate (in \(s^{-1}\))

4. Extent of reaction (no unit)

Note

It is highly recommended to perform an interpolation of data over extent. An interpolation module is available among the Kinopt modules (see interpolation).
