An advanced (micro) kinetic modeling tool is presented. It can be used in the assessment of chemical kinetics going from power law models to full microkinetic models in terms of elementary steps. Reactants and products are considered to be present in a single, ideal aggregation state. Rate equations are automatically generated from the reaction network as specified by the user of the engine. Combined stochastic and deterministic algorithms are used for the optimization procedure. The flexibility of the code in its integration with different graphical userfriendly interfaces is illustrated. Thus, researchers with little programming skills can both implement advanced micro-kinetic models and perform their assessment.O-xylene hydrogenation data are used for illustration purposes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
