The effects of temperature heating-up rate and pressure building-up phase on the inactivation of Listeria innocua ATCC 33090 were evaluated in buffered peptone water. The number of L. innocua was reduced by 5.57 and 6.52 log CFU/mL during the nonisothermal treatment (the come-up time followed by isothermal process) and the isothermal treatment, respectively, at $60^{\circ}C$. When compared to the isothermal treatment (0.76$33.2^{\circ}C/min$ of temperature heating-rate. The effect of the combined high pressure and thermal processing on the inactivation of L. innocua increased with increasing pressure and temperature. At all temperature levels from 40 to $60^{\circ}C$ under 700 MPa, L. innocua was not detected by enrichment culture (>7 log reduction).

4-Amino-1,2,4-triazole copper complex (4-ATzCu) was synthesized, and its thermal behaviors, nonisothermal decomposition reaction kinetics were studied by DSC and TG-DTG techniques. The thermal decomposition reaction kinetic equation was obtained as: $d\alpha$ / dt =$10^{22.01}$ (1-$\alpha$)[-ln(1-$\alpha$)]$^{1/3}$ exp($-2.75\times10^4$ /T). The standard mole specific heat capacity of the complex was determined and the standard molar heat capacity is 305.66 $J{\cdot}mol^{-1}{\cdot}K^{-1}$ at 298.15 K. The entropy of activation $({\Delta}S^{\neq})$, enthalpy of activation $({\Delta}H^{\neq})$, and Gibbs free energy of activation $({\Delta}G^{\neq})$ are calculated as 171.88 $J{\cdot}mol^{-1}{\cdot}K^{-1}$ 225.81 $kJ{\cdot}mol^{-1}$ and 141.18 $kJ{\cdot}mol^{-1}$, and the adiabatic time-to-explosion of the complex was obtained as 389.20 s.

The ruling kinetics of epoxy resins with 3 different kinds or alkenylsuccinic anhydride (ASA) having C-8, C-12, and C-16 pendant side chain length with two different catalysts was studied by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Nonisothermal and isoconversional method has been used for characterizing the effect of the pendant side chain length in the curing process. Results or nonisothermal method showed that there was no significant difference in the effect of the pendant side chain length of ASA. But isoconversional analysis showed that the value of the activation energy for the initiation reaction or C-8, C-12, and C-16 were $61.7{\sim}57.7kJ/mol$, $63.0{\sim}57.3 kJ/mol$, and $130.4{\sim}94.2 kJ/mol$, respectively, depending on the catalyst used. The values of activation energy for the initiation is different as reported value of 20 kJ/mol which indicating the difference in the effect of the pendant side chain length of ASA in the initial stage of the reaction.

This study was conducted to develop the fermentation kinetic modeling for the prediction of pH and acidity changes in kimchi at isothermal and nonisothermal fermentation temperatures(0~15$^{\circ}C$) and salt concentrations(1.5~4.0%) using the traditional two-step method and alternative one-step method. The calculations of the two-step method of pH and acidity change during fermentation followed the pattern of the first order and zero order, respectively. The reaction rate constant of pH by the first order was increased from 0.008 {TEX}$day^{-1}${/TEX} to 0.017 {TEX}$day^{-1}${/TEX} by increasing the temperature from $0^{\circ}C$ to 15$^{\circ}C$ at 2.75% of salt concentration, and was decreased from 0.013 {TEX}$day^{-1}${/TEX} to 0.010 {TEX}$day^{-1}${/TEX} by increasing the salt concentration from 1.5% to 4.0% at 5$^{\circ}C$. For the pH and acidity of Kimchi, the zero order had a higher correlation than the first order to the estimate of the kinetics parameters by the one-step method. The {TEX}$E_{a}${/TEX} ranges of pH and acidity were 61.057~66.086 and 62.417~68.772 kJ/mole with different temperatures and salt concentrations. This one-step method had smaller and more realistic estimates of error(p〈0.05). The effective temperatures, {TEX}$T_{eff}${/TEX}, with 0~15$^{\circ}C$ of square function type of 12 hr intervals were 12.85, 11.48 and 12.46$^{\circ}C$ as increasing the salt concentration, 1.50, 2.75 and 4.00%, respectively. The {TEX}$T_{eff}${/TEX} were higher values than the mean temperature(7.5$^{\circ}C$).

The combustion kinetics of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) was studied by the dynamic model which accounts for the thermal decomposition of polymer at any time. The kinetic analysis was performed by a conventional nonisothermal thermogravimetric (TG) technique at several heating rates between 10 and 40 K/min in air atmosphere. The thermal decomposition of PET in air atmosphere was found to be a complex process composed of at least two stages for which kinetic values can be calculated. The combustion kinetic analysis of PET gave apparent activation energy for the first stage of $257.3{\sim}269.9\;kJ/mol$, with a value of $140.5{\sim}213.8\;kJ/mol$ for the second stage. To verify the effectiveness of the kinetic analysis method used in this work, the kinetic analysis results were compared with those of various analytical methods. The kinetic parameters were also compared with values of the pyrolysis of PET in nitrogen atmosphere.

This paper presents a fault detection strategy that discriminates the faulty sensor and that detects the component fault using a bank of observers for the system in which sensor fault and component fault can occur simultaneously. Observers as many as the number of measurements are designed, and each observer uses measurements excluding sequentially one measurement, to estimate the state variables. The faulty sensor can be found out by comparing each state variable from different observer. Next, component fault can be detected by using measurements from the sensors excluding the faulty sensor. The suggested strategy is applied to a nonisothermal, series reaction with unknown reaction kinetics in a CSTR. This strategy is found out to perform well even in the case that the sensor and component fault occur simultaneously. Since each observer is designed to be independent of reaction kinetics, this strategy is not affected by the model uncertainty and nonlinearity of the reaction kinetics.

Kinetic studies were made on the thermal decomposition of hydrated magnesium aluminum double sulfate by a nonisothermal TG method. Thermal analyses of the dehydration of tricosahydrate showed that the reaction proceeded via decahydrate to the anhydrous MgAl2(SO4)4 in the range 50$^{\circ}$to 400$^{\circ}C$. Decomposition of MgAl2(SO4)4 occurred as the two-step between 650$^{\circ}$ and 970$^{\circ}C$. Dehydration of MgAl2(SO4)4$.$23H2O and a 2D diffusion controlled with an activation energy of 16.6kcal/mole, respectively. MgAl2(SO4)4 fitted the contracting volume model with an activation energy of 10.5kcal/mole, and MgSO4 fitted a contracting area model with an activation of 4.5kcal/mole.

A modern kinetic evaluation method for nonisothermal reactions measured with Differential Scanning Calorimetry(DSC) is presented. It is based on multiple linear regression analysis using a number of curve points in a selectable range of conversion. The obtained kinetic data are the basis to compute a reaction process under any condition e.g. isothermal or adiabatic. The DSC measurements was performed on a Mettler TA3000 SYSTEM with the built in evaluation software. Mainly the following reactions are discussed: vulcanization of natural rubber compounds containing vulcanizing accelerators. The purpose of this work is to analyse the vulcanization kinetics of typical NR vulcanization systems using DSC. These systems were chosen because they are typically reactive elastomer and are commercially important.

A simple approximate model using equivalent time at a reference temperature ($t_{eq}$) was derived to predict quality changes caused by temperature fluctuations. The validity and effectiveness of this model have been assessed with experimental data of sucrose hydrolysis. Kinetic parameters of sucrose hydrolysis were estimated by one step method using equivalent time at a reference temperature with linearly increasing temperature profile. Sucrose hydrolysis was a first order reaction, and the activation energy was 25.84 kcal/mol. The extent of sucrose hydrolysis of liquid model system under accelerated test with sinusoidal temperature fluctuations were determined. The proposed model yielded accurate prediction with the correlation coefficient in the range of $0.92{\sim}0.99$.
