Abstract
A number of parameters must be identified before a reaction calorimeter can be used to determine kinetic data. These parameters can be divided into calorimeter specific constants and parameters which depend on the reaction system. Within the last group some are independent of reaction extent while others vary with time. A general procedure for sequential identification of the parameters is proposed. As examples the jacket side heat transfer coefficient, the heat loss to the surroundings, and a possibly time varying heat capacity of reaction fluid are determined for a BSC-81 heat flow calorimeter controlled by a microprocessor. The recursive on-line estimation of the heat capacity is fast, accurate and requires very little core storage in the microprocessor.
