Features: Chemical reaction thermodynamics is a discipline that studies the determination of the rate and kinetic parameters of chemical reactions by measuring the enthalpy change during the reaction process. This is based on the principle that all physical, chemical, and biological metabolic processes in nature are accompanied by thermal effects, and the heat effect of a reaction (or the rate of heat release) is closely related to the reaction rate and reaction time. This book introduces the fundamental theories of chemical reaction thermodynamics and research achievements both domestically and internationally. It covers the main research methods of chemical reaction thermodynamics, such as dimensionless parameter methods, comparative progress methods, simulated thermal spectrum line methods, characteristic parameter methods, time parameter methods, self-function regression methods, and kinetic study methods for simple-order reactions, composite reactions, fast reactions, enzyme-catalyzed reactions, adiabatic or thermodynamic study methods, etc. Studying the mechanics of chemical reactions is of great significance for understanding reaction rates, reaction pathways, and various influencing factors (such as molecular structure, temperature, pressure, concentration, medium, and catalysts), guiding production practices. The author has established a series of theories and methods of potential thermodynamics for chemical reactions using a self-developed thermal conduction calorimeter, which holds significant application value in the dynamics research of defense industry, materials, pharmacology, environment, chemistry, chemical engineering, and biological processes. This book can serve as a reference for university students and teachers in related fields, as well as for scientific and technical personnel in research institutions and enterprises.
