This review covers both the history and present state of the kinetics of thermally stimulated reactions in solids. The traditional methodology of kinetic analysis, which is based on fitting data to reaction models, dates back to the very first isothermal studies. The model fitting approach suffers from an inability to determine the reaction model uniquely,and this does not allow reliable mechanistic conclusions to be drawn even from isothermal data. In non-isothermal kinetics, the use of the traditional methodology results in highly uncertain values of Arrhenius parameters that cannot be compared meaningfully with isothermal values. An alternative model-free methodology is based on the isoconversional method. The use of this model-free approach in both isothermal and non-isothermal kinetics helps to avoid the problems that originate from the ambiguous evaluation of the reaction model. The model-free methodology allows the dependence of the activation energy on the extent of conversion to be determined. This, in turn, permits reliable reaction rate predictions to be made and mechanistic conclusions to be drawn.

“SPRINT2D Software for Convection Dominated PDEs,” In Modern Software Tools in Scientific Computing, Edited by E. Arge and A.M. Bruaset and H.P. Langtangen, Birkhauser Press, 1997.
SPRINT2D is a set of software tools for solving time-dependent partial differential equations in two space variables. The software uses unstructured triangular meshes and adaptive error control in both space and time. This chapter describes the software and shows how the adaptive techniques may be used to increase the reliability of the solution procedure for a challenging combustion problem. The recent construction of a problem solving environment (PSE) has partially automated the use of SPRINT2D. This PSE consists of tools such as a visual domain specification tool, which helps ease the input of complex geometries, and a visual problem specification tool. After describing these components an evaluation will be made of SPRINT2D and its associated PSE.
