Summary
In this example, we use PyromatⓇ data files that have been converted to standard text format [John G. Reynolds, Alan K. Burnham, and Thomas O. Mitchell, ”Kinetic analysis of California petroleum source rocks by programmed temperature pyrolysis”, Org. Geochem. Vol. 23, No. 2, pp. 109-120, 1995].
The files used in Case 1 can be downloaded as: monterey.zip . All included files are text files and should be extracted to a user data folder that is not a subfolder of C:\Program Files.
| File Name | Description |
| TM0350AB.dat | Pyrolysis data at a nominal heating rate of 50 C/min |
| TM0307AA.dat | Pyrolysisdata at a nominal heating rate of 7 C/min |
| TM0301AA.dat | Pyrolysis data at a nominal heating rate of 1 C/min |
| TM03-A.con | Kinetics05 command file for Analysis calculation |
| TM03-A.out | Output file from Analysis calculation |
| TM03-A.dup.out | Duplicate of output file from Analysis calculation |
| TM03-B.app | Command file for Apply calculation |
| TM03-B.out | Output file from Apply calculation |
| TM03-B.dup.out | Duplicate of output file from Apply calculation |
