  Most processes (whether physical, chemical, or biological) produce or consume heat: measuring thermal power (the heat production rate) is therefore a typical method of studying processes. Here we describe the design of a simple isothermal heat conduction ...

- First-Order or Second-Order Kinetics? A Monte Carlo Answer
  Joel Tellinghuisen
  Journal of Chemical Education2005 82 (11), 1709
  In chemical kinetics, data for the concentration [A] as a function of time can be analyzed by least-squares fitting to the appropriate expression for the integrated rate law. The problem of discriminating between first and second order in such analyses is ...
