Evidence is presented that the ketenimine intermediate formed in the thermal decomposition of azo-bis-isobutyronitrile (AIBN) rearranges quantitatively to tetramethylsuccinodinitrile (TMSDN), mainly by a molecular mechanism. Interpretation of experimental data on the basis of a reaction scheme consistent with the nature of the main products and the features of the kinetics of the decomposition permits estimation, by means of a simple diagram, of the extent of disproportionation, as well as that of the normal and abnormal recombination of cyanisopropyl radicals. The result obtained for the latter is in good agreement with that determined previously by an alternative method. The analysis does not exclude absolutely the possibility of side reactions in which the azo-compound partly decomposes by a molecular process, and the intermediate decomposes into free radicals. However, it is concluded that these side reactions, if any, must be of minor importance.

The authors proposed and treated quantitatively a kinetic model for deposition of epitaxial GaAs layers prepared by reaction of trimethylgallium with arsine in hydrogen atmosphere. The transport of gallium to the surface of the substrate is considered as the controlling process. The influence of the rate of chemical reactions in the gas phase and on the substrate surface on the kinetics of the deposition process is neglected. The calculated dependence of the growth rate of the layers on the conditions of the deposition is in a good agreement with experimental data in the temperature range from 600 to 800°C.

A detailed investigation of the inhibition by nitric oxide of the thermal decomposition of n-butane has been carried out over the temperature range 500° to 550 °C.In all cases it was found that inhibition decreased with increasing butane concentration. This suggests that radical recombination occurs in the normal decomposition by ternary collisions with butane molecules acting as third bodies.The activation energies of the normal and inhibited reactions have been determined. For high pressures the two values are in good agreement, viz., 58,200 and 57,200 cal. per mole respectively. The products of the inhibited reaction were also found to be the same as those of the normal reaction.It is concluded that free radical processes predominate, involving comparatively short chains.

Ionization potentials are calculated by simple energy-calibrated molecular orbital techniques for the normal alkanes through C17H36 and for some normal and branched alkyl free radicals. A model is formulated which allows the computations to be extended to extremely large molecules by using "radical" orbitals as well as atomic orbitals in the expansion scheme. Auto-ionization levels as well as ionization potentials are calculated for the radicals. Computed and observed values are in good agreement where recent experimental data are available.

ABSTRACTA new, quantitative model was developed to describe the martensite transformation kinetics of thermoelastic shape memory alloys (SMAs). In addition, a series of experiments were conducted to study the Kinetics of thermoelastic martensite transformation in four SMA systems: NiTi, NiTi-15at%Hf, NiTi-20at%Zr and NiMn-7.5at%Ti alloys. Comparisons between data of the kinetic of martensite transformation with the present theoretic models show that the proposed model is in good agreement and concurs with the experimental data. Also, a comparison of data from the proposed model with data from existing kinetic models, such as Liang's and Magee's [1,7], indicates that the proposed model can better describe the experimental data, including the relationship between dξ(T)/dT and ξ, and dξ(T)/dT and T.

A simulation of the growth kinetics of iron boride forming on AISI 1018 carbon steel was done on the basis of a kinetic model. This model including the effect of the incubation time during the formation of iron boride, was applied in order to evaluate the kinetic constant at the ( ) interface, the layer thickness and the mass gain depending on the paste-boriding parameters such as time, temperature and boron potential reflected by the corresponding value of the surface boron content. The simulation results were found to be in a good agreement with the experimental data derived from the literature.

The quantitative kinetics of the reactions of acrylonitrile and methyl vinyl ketone with ethyl acetoacetate and 2,4-pentanedione, and those of acrylonitrile with ethanol and methanol in basic solution were studied as functions of base concentration, temperature, ionic strength, and solvent composition. An expression is obtained which relates the observed rates to the basicity of the solution for the 2,4-pentanedione reactions by the amount of anion in solution. For the other systems, reasonable values of ionization constants obtained empirically, similarly correlate observed rates with the concentration of base in the system. A quantitative correlation with activity coefficients as expressed by the expanded form of the Debye–Hückel equation gave good agreement for most of the experimental data with ionic strength. A derivation for the particular type of system employed indicated that the activity coefficient for the double-bonded compounds appears to have to be treated as an ion with partial ionic charge. On the basis of experimental data reported, the mechanism proposed involves, (i) anion attack on a polarized double bond, (ii) formation of a cyclic intermediate, severely restricted because of π orbital overlap, and (iii) protonation of this intermediate to form product.


Ramsperger has investigated the kinetics of the thermal decomposition of a number of aliphatic azo-compounds at temperatures between 250° and 330° C. The principal reaction is in each instance of the type R. CH - N = N - CH . R ' = N 2 + x . R . CH . CH . R + x . R ' . CH . CH . R ' + (1 - 2 x ) . R . CH . CH . R ' . For a symmetrical azo-compound (R = R ' ), x = 0. When heated to about 300° C., benzalazine undergoes an analogous decomposition, mainly to nitrogen and stilbene ; but the liberation of nitrogen from benzalazine involves the rupture of two double bonds, instead of two single bonds as in the azo-compounds C 6 H 5 CH = N - N = CHC 6 H 5 = N 2 + C 6 H 5 CH = CHC 6 H 5 . A study of the kinetics of the benzalazine decomposition therefore offers the opportunity for a comparison of the breakage of the single and double carbon-nitrogen bonds. We find that the reaction can be followed manometrically at temperatures between 315° and 360° C. These temperatures lie above the boiling-point of benzalazine and stilbene (b. p. 306°), and therefore the reaction proceeds with increase of pressure over a wide range of initial concentrations.

The kinetic model, which was originally developed for sunflower oil methanolysis catalyzed by CaO.ZnO, was examined for several other calcium-based catalysts like neat CaO, quicklime and Ca(OH)2. This model including triacylglycerols mass transfer- and chemically-controlled regimes demonstrated a good agreement with the experimental data in terms of a high coefficient of determination (0.971?0.022) and acceptable mean relative percentage deviation (?15.9%). Hence, this model is recommended for modeling the kinetics of sunflower oil methanolysis over calcium-based catalysts under widely ranging reaction conditions.

Abstract. In this study, gas hydrate formation kinetics of methane and ethane binary mixtures has been studied and data of mixed methane–ethane hydrate formation at 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 0.68, 0.8, and 0.9 mole fractions of methane and at a temperature of 277.15 K and an initial pressure of approximately 3.6 MPa were collected. The thermodynamic natural path was used for modeling the hydrate formation rate in a constant volume process. The results show that there is good agreement between model prediction and experimental data, with an average error of 0.9%. It was observed that the values of these parameters are dependent on the concentration of components in the mixtures. The results indicate that this model can predict constant volume experimental data of binary mixture hydrate.
