33.4.38 Two Competing Rates Model Dialog Box

The Two Competing Rates Model dialog box (which opens when you select two-competing-rates as the Devolatilization Model in the Create/Edit Materials dialog box) allows you to input the parameters used for each of the competing rates in the two-competing-rates devolatilization model. See this section in the separate Theory Guide for details.

Note that the Two Competing Rates Model dialog box is a modal dialog box, which means that you must tend to it immediately before continuing the property definitions.

Controls

First Rate   sets parameters for the first of the two rates.

Pre-exponential Factor   sets the value of $A_1$ in this equation in the separate Theory Guide for the computation of the kinetic rate.

Activation Energy   sets the value of $E_1$ in this equation in the separate Theory Guide for the computation of the kinetic rate.

Weighting Factor   sets the value of $\alpha_1$ in this equation in the separate Theory Guide.

Second Rate   sets parameters for the second of the two rates.

Pre-exponential Factor   sets the value of $A_2$ in this equation in the separate Theory Guide for the computation of the kinetic rate.

Activation Energy   sets the value of $E_2$ in this equation in the separate Theory Guide for the computation of the kinetic rate.

Weighting Factor   sets the value of $\alpha_2$ in this equation in the separate Theory Guide.
