Methods Involving Maximisation of Rate

A method for evaluating kinetic parameters that emphasises the position of the inflection point on the primary thermogram has been reported by Reich and co- 

A = Pre-exponential factor n = Effective order of reaction E = Energy of activation (kcal/mole) 

W = Weight active material remaining for a particular reaction - inflection point of primary thermogram 

Differentiation of the above equation with regard to Tand the result set to zero, after rearrangement we obtain  

If Equation 1.2 is converted into a logarithmic expression and Equation 1.4 is substituted into this expression we obtain
