Abstract

Kinetic measurements of cyclohexanol dehydration on alumina at 200 °C were conducted using a flow apparatus. The initial reaction rate approach was used to obtain data suitable for statistical evaluation of experimental error. The contribution of various error sources to the overall uncertainty of results was estimated either independently or by analysis of variance. Using the same procedure three sets of kinetic data from the work of other authors were also evaluated and information was obtained concerning the influence of minor changes of experimental technique on precision. The significance of errors found in dependent and independent variables is discussed and recommendations for improvement of experimental design are given.
