Pkynetics is a comprehensive library for thermal analysis kinetic methods, including traditional model-fitting and model-free methods, advanced computational techniques, machine learning approaches, and result visualization.
Friedman Method: A differential isoconversional method that uses the logarithm of the reaction rate versus the reciprocal of the absolute temperature at constant extents of conversion.
Ozawa-Flynn-Wall (OFW) Method: An integral isoconversional method that uses the logarithm of the heating rate versus the reciprocal of the absolute temperature at constant extents of conversion.
Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS) Method: An improved integral isoconversional method that provides better accuracy than OFW, especially at higher heating rates.
Vyazovkin Method: An advanced isoconversional method that uses numerical integration to improve accuracy, especially for complex, multi-step reactions.
Starink Method: A modification of the KAS method that aims to provide improved accuracy over a wider range of activation energy and heating rate values.
Miura-Maki Method: A method based on the distributed activation energy model (DAEM) that can handle complex reactions with a distribution of activation energies.
Master Plots Method: A model-free method that compares the experimental data with theoretical master plots to determine the most likely reaction mechanism.
These methods will be implemented in order, starting with the Friedman method.
