Incomplete Data

This calculation of conversion for incomplete data is possible in Kinetics Neo since version 3.0.

Conversion (or Degree of Conversion) can be easy calculated for the measurements, where reaction is finished completely at the final point of the measurement:

However, sometimes the final part of reaction cannot be measured, and the final point of the measurement does not correspond to the conversion value 100%. But in some cases, the total effect can be sometimes estimated by other measurements or methods and this value can be used for calculation of conversion value.

Example of incomplete TG measurement, where total mass loss Δm_total is found by other methods:

In order to type manually the total effect for incomplete measurement, select it in Source Data, then switch on the possibility to edit total effect and type the total effect (e.g. total mass loss for TG or total peak area for DSC):

Then the software will use this total effect as the value for 100% of conversion. The last point of incomplete measurements then will have the conversion value less than 1:
