Views on Macroscopic Kinetics of Plasma Polymerization: Acrylic Acid Revisited

In this expression Ea is an apparent activation energy and W/F an average energy per particle. This expression relates macroscopic process parameters of flow and power to a measurable internal process parameter, the growth rate, in a phenomenological way. If true it would make a simple comparison between different reactors easy and certainly help in transferring fundamental insights in the process kinetics into industrial processes. However, in...
