A simplified Arrhenius equation and a resulting reliability plot against operating temperature are displayed in FIGURE 2.
K(T), the temperature dependence of the rate of weight loss, is often modeled successfully by the Arrhenius equation K(T) = Aexp (- E/RT), (2) where E is the apparent activation energy, A the pre-exponential factor and R the gas constant.
The temperature dependence was modeled by the Arrhenius equation, a formula used to determine the rate of a chemical reaction.
