Application of numerical analysis method in estimating kinetic model parameters of complex chemical reactions

Chemical kinetic parameter estimation, such as the estimations of the rate constants and the kinetic exponents, is very important. According to these parameters, we can speculate the reaction mechanisms. There are four main types of chemical reactions: simple n-order reaction, consecutive reaction, parallel reaction and reversible reaction. In this paper, a parameter estimate method of using numerical analysis for these chemical reactions is proposed. By example of the ethyl acetate hydrolytic reaction, we verified the good accuracy of the method, as well as its reliability.
