This paper presents a complete thermodynamic and material balance analysis of the pyrolysis of chlorodifluoromethane at atmospheric pressure, using steam as a diluent in a diluent ratio range of 0-8. Reported expressions for the rate constants have been used to derive a rate equation for the above reaction as a function of the conversion and temperature. One of the reported rate constants has been corrected to bring about a good consistency between the thermodynamic and kinetic analyses.
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.
