Global Chemical Kinetics of Fossil Fuels How to Model Maturation and Pyrolysis /

This book covers the origin and chemical structure of sedimentary organic matter, how that structure relates to appropriate chemical reaction models, how to obtain reaction data uncontaminated by heat and mass transfer, and how to convert that data into global kinetic models that extrapolate over wi...
