DSC DTA experiments

The pyrolysis of petroleum and its products is characterized by the appearance of only one endothermal peak in the plot of heat flow versus temperature, above 400 °C. Sometimes additional flat peaks will be found below 400 °C, and these represent evaporation processes. 

The software DSCASTMKin vl.OO (DuPont) supplies the following information, which is shown as plots of the pyrolysis of bitumen B80
