On the calculation of activation energies using a modified Kissinger method

TLDR
In this article, it was shown that the proposed method was based upon a modification to the equation for the rate of reaction under non-isothermal conditions, and the apparent discrepancy between the proposed algorithm and the original Kissinger method was resolved.
Abstract
Augis and Bennett (J. Thermal Anal. 13 (1978) 283.) [6] recently proposed a modified Kissinger method for determining the activation energy of a transformation. It is shown that the proposed method was, in fact, based upon a modification to the equation for the rate of reaction under non-isothermal conditions. The apparent discrepancy between the proposed method and the original Kissinger method is therefore resolved. The modified rate equation appears to have, at best, only a limited application. However, if the equation should be appropriate for a particular transformation, it is demonstrated that Augis and Bennett's method would be the correct method for determining the activation energy.

Homer Kissinger and the Kissinger equation

TL;DR: The peak displacement kinetic method was invented by Henry Kissinger in the mid-1950s when he was an intern at the National Bureau of Standards as discussed by the authors, and it is one of the most commonly used kinetic tools, having more than 2000 citations.
