Intrinsic activation energy definition

However, in many practical situations the problem exists that effective rate constants and activation energies have been derived on the basis of laboratory experiments. The question arises then as to whether or not these parameters arc influenced by transport effects. With the relations given so far, this question cannot be answered yet, since according to its definition by cq 27 the Thiele modulus is based on the intrinsic rate constant k. This problem can be solved by introducing a new modulus, which in contrast to only contains observable (effective) quantities, and thus can... 

Once the reactor equations and assumptions have been established, and HDS, HDN, HDA, and HGO reaction rate expressions have been defined, the adsorption coefficient, equilibrium constants, reaction orders, frequency factors, and activation energies can be determined from the experimental data obtained at steady-state conditions by optimization with the Levenberg-Marquardt nonlinear regression algorithm. Using the values of parameters obtained from steady-state experiments, the dynamic TBR model was employed to redetermine the kinetic parameters that were considered as definitive values. The temperature dependencies of all the intrinsic reaction rate constants have been described by the Arrhenius law, which are shown in Table 7.4. 

The sensors employed in wearable body sensor network systems can be divided into active sensors and passive sensors. There is ambiguity in the classification, and many authors are using the other way around. In the biomedical measurement field, however, the definition of sensor type follows the convention of other electronic instrumentation fields the active sensors are those sensors that require an external power source to convert the input into a usable output signal, while passive sensors are those that intrinsically provide their own energy or derive energy from the phenomenon being...
