Introduction to Pyrolysis
 

• Free radical Chemistry
• The Rice-Herzfeld chain mechanism
• Industrial importance

Construction of kinetic models
 

• Arrhenius rate laws
• Generalized correlations for kinetic parameters
• Relationship between thermochemistry and kinetics
• Algebraic solution methods
• Rigorous solution methods using Ordinary Differential Equations
 

• Deducing mechanism from data
• Sensitivity analysis
• Applications of working models
• The module on d-orbital catalysis will be similarly structured.
