“…In the present work, the activation energies were estimated using the distributed activation energy (DAE) and Starink methods. For a given conversion ( α ; 0 ≤ α ≤ 1), in Miura-Maki's DAE method: 15 E α = R × slope of
whereas, in Starink method: 16
of
. Further, the E α values obtained from these methods were used to predict the reaction mechanism.…”
