Abstract	Pyrolysis models for burning solids in fire simulations are sensitive to the values of the activation energy, frequency factor, and reaction order that characterize the thermal decomposition of the solid to gaseous fuel, so direct measurement of these kinetic parameters is recommended, and simple methods are preferred. Three direct methods were evaluated with regard to the ability of their kinetic parameters to reproduce the thermal decomposition of five polymers measured by differential thermogravimetric analysis using the reaction order model. It was found that the two multiple heating rate methods produced identical, physically based kinetic parameters, while the peak property method produced non-physical kinetic parameters. However, all of these kinetic parameters in a single-step reaction order model gave reasonably good conversion histories for non-charring and moderately charring polymers. For a highly charring polymer, the conversion histories were poorly described without a multiple step reaction. The temperature at the maximum rate of conversion was found to be essentially independent of the reaction order, which decouples the frequency factor from the reaction order in the direct kinetic methods. Any of the direct methods are sufficiently accurate to obtain kinetic parameters for pyrolysis models because of the inherent spatial and temporal averaging of reaction rates at the burning surface of a thick solid and the uncertainty in the heat transfer mechanisms and thermo-physical parameters used in the models.
