ResumoIt is known that the application of an inappropriate kinetic method to the thermal analysis of complex systems can lead to misleading results. To avoid this problem, the new parameter 'instantaneous mean activation energy' is introduced and the Ozawa-Flynn-Wall method is assessed as a means of obtaining it. It is concluded that good results can generally be obtained by this method, provided that the various reactions occurring in the complex system are of the same type. The pyrolysis of coal is considered as a possible application of the method.
