Oxidation kinetics of n-decane in the presence of an inhibiting composition: A mathematical model

We designed an algorithm and software for inverse kinetic problem solving by conditional global minimization of the deviation of calculated data from experimental data. This approach allows use of more complete information on the process, which narrows the region of feasibility and increases the quality of mathematical simulation of chemical reactions. The algorithms designed were tested in the kinetic description of a complex liquid-phase chain reaction, specifically, the oxidation of n-decane in the presence of an inhibiting composition, viz., para-oxydiphenylamine + n-decanol.
