Abstract :
This paper is Part D of a discussion of the computational stage of solid-state reactions as applied to the data sets of the ICTAC Kinetic Analysis Project. This Part critically evaluates the results from the various participants and finds that kinetic analysis programs used by Burnham, Roduit, and Opfermann give very similar results. Isoconversional methods give kinetic parameters that agree qualitatively with those from subsequent nonlinear regression to appropriate models. Single-heating-rate methods work poorly and should not be used or published.
