Transient program experimental conditions

The aim of this study was to develop a new experimental basis for testing the model of deactivation caused by the inactive carbonaceous deposit. Deactivation of the model cobalt foil catalyst was studied in the hydrogenation of ethylene. The focus was on the conditions of ethylene hydrogenation under which the deposits might occur as well as on the determination of their forms and functions in the reaction network. To do this temperature-programmed reactions (TPR and TPO) and microscopic methods (SEM) were applied in conjunction with catalytic tests and stop-flow transient kinetic experiments. 

Perhaps the best way to discuss program-controlled data acquisition is to consider a specific problem. Consider the case in which an experiment of a transient nature is to be conducted and data acquired during the lifetime of the experiment— for example, monitoring the gaseous products of an explosion. The computer is to initiate the explosion and to simultaneously initiate data acquisition at a constant rate of 10 kHz. When a specified total number of data has been taken, the computer is to terminate data acquisition and reset the experimental instrumentation to the original conditions. Each data point is to be taken in from the ADC and stored in memory for later processing.
