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

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\).
