Correlation of kinetic parameters with analytical data

4 Correlation of kinetic parameters with analytical data 

An attempt to correlate the kinetic parameters of the pyrolysis reaction with analytical data was only partly successful. A fairly high coefficient of correlation r was found for the relation of the activation energy E with the concentration of paraffin bonded carbon (CP) in the samples  

Four samples, which are found on line no. I in the experiments at 1 bar argon, are also there in the experiments at 10 bar methane. But only six samples were found to stay on the same line II, both in 1 bar argon and 10 bar methane (samples 2, 4, 5, 11, 15, 21). No systematic causal relationship could be found. Statistical evaluation of the six samples forming the group in the experiments in 1 bar argon gives  

Line No. I Experiments in 1 bar argon Line No. II Group Experiments Line No. I in 10 bar methane Line No. II
