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

Cure Kinetics of Epoxy/DDS/ Epoxy-Grafted Nano-Aluminum Oxide
TL;DR: In this paper, the cure kinetics of epoxy/epoxy-grafted nano-aluminum oxide using 4, 4'-diaminodiphenylsulphone (DDS) as the curing agent was studied by nonisothermal differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) at different heating rates.

Study on Kinetics of Thermal Degradation of Polymethyl Methacrylate/Cyclic Olefin Copolymer Blend
TL;DR: In this paper, the activation energy of degradation of studied materials was estimated using Ozawa Flynn and Wall (OFW), Starink and Kissinger's methods, and evaluation of three kinetic parameters taken appropriate kinetic model in terms of percent change for both types of polymers have been proposed, and finally, simulated curves were compared with the experimental curves.

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).
