ABSTRACT
The program SYMTERM allows to perform the numerical simulations of chemical processes which take place in the thermal analysis apparatus, considering two important factors: the exchange of heat between a sample and an environment, and the influence of heat evolved in the reaction on its kinetics. The program makes it possible to obtain kinetics profiles (DTA, TG, DTG or DSC curves) at various heating rates and permits to determine both the activation energy Eact and the reaction order of a single rate-limited step reaction with using DTA (DSC) and TG data simultaneously.
