Hello Everyone,
I am facing a challenge of determining reliable kinetics. I know ICTAC recommended multiple heating to perform to perform reliable results.
However, I am conducting single heating rate with various oxygen concentration. I was able to use THINKS to model non-linear fitting ( Especial thank to Dr Nikita) and got some results which close to literature. However, this is based on single heating rate which against the reccomndation ICTAC.
I can't do more experiments because I ran out of my sample and I am not able to get more.
I am using these kinetics to model a reactor in CFD. I want to see is their ideas or opinions that I can do to make my kinetics reliable. Or at least is this recommendation is solid one that cannot waived if I decided to publish a paper.
Certainly! While ICTAC recommends multiple heating rates for robust kinetics determination, sometimes practical constraints limit our options. Your adaptation to single heating rate experiments is understandable given your sample limitations. To bolster the reliability of your kinetics:
1. Validate your results against existing literature or other reliable data sources.
2. Conduct sensitivity and uncertainty analyses to understand the robustness of your model.
3. Clearly discuss the limitations of your approach in your paper, along with the steps taken to address them.
By transparently detailing your methodology and efforts to ensure accuracy, you can enhance the credibility of your findings for publication.@Ahmad Alsuwaidi
