pressure on reaction rates; and it insufficiently reflects the change of reaction order (which<br />
means it insufficiently models reaction rates as a function of oxygen partial pressure).<br />
The use of the intrinsic Langmuir rate equation eliminates these difficulties. The increase<br />
of adjustable parameters is a cost for all these advantages. In addition, as understanding<br />
of the pore structures of chars grows, the uncertainties with pore structure parameters<br />
will reduce over time.<br />
