Estimating isothermal life from thermogravimetric data
TLDR
In this paper, the authors presented a method for estimating equivalent isothermal life from thermogravimetric data and for estimating the apparent activation energy for volatilization even though the nature of the kinetic process is unknown.Abstract:
Equations are given for estimating equivalent isothermal life from thermogravimetric data and for estimating the apparent activation energy for volatilization even though the nature of the kinetic process is unknown. Illustrative data for polytetrafluoroethylene are presented. The importance of using sample temperatures, rather than furnace temperatures, is noted.read more
