Rational approximations have been derived for the integral of the Arrhenius function
$$\int\limits_0^T {\exp ( - E/RT)}$$
dT which is important in the kinetic analysis of thermogravimetric data. The first degree rational approximation is found to be equivalent to the Gorbachev approximation, i.e., RT2
exp (−E/RT)/(E+2RT). The second degree rational approximation is more accurate than the Zsako empirical approximation when E/RT 5. The third and higher degree rational approximations are found to be more accurate than any other previous approximation.read more

Kinetic Analysis of the Thermal Decomposition of Polymer-Bonded Explosive Based on PETN: Model-Fitting Method and Isoconversional Method
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the kinetics and thermal decomposition behaviors of pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) and two polymer-bonded explosive (PBX) samples created from PETN (named as PBX-PN-85 and PBXPP-85) using the vacuum stability test (VST) and thermogravimetry (TG/DTG) techniques.

Reaction Kinetics for the Synthesis of Li4SiO4 by Solid State Reaction from Li2SiO3 and Li2CO3 for Tritium Breeder
TL;DR: Li4SiO4 has been considered one of the best candidates for tritium breeders as mentioned in this paper, and it has also been suggested to be the promising high-temperature carbon dioxide (CO2) solid sorbent and lithium ion conducting material.

Application of model-free and multivariate nonlinear regression methods for evaluation of the kinetic scheme and kinetic parameters of thermal decomposition of low density polyethylene
TL;DR: In this article , a sort of low density polyethylene (LDPE) was characterized by X-ray diffraction, Xray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermal analysis methods (TG, DTG, DTA) in nitrogen flow at constant heating rates of 2.50, 5.00, 9.91, 14.98 and 19.92 K min−1.

Empirical formula for the exponential integral in non-isothermal kinetics
TL;DR: The exponential integral of the exponential integral can be approximated by means of the empirical formula, e.g. as mentioned in this paper, which approximates p(x) = - \int\limits_\infty ^x {\frac{{e^{ - u} }}{{u^2 }}} \cdot du\).

TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between chemical kinetics and differential thermal analysis (DTA) curves is studied for the reactions which follow the general rate expression: r = r/sub 0/e/sup -E/RT/(1 - x).
