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

Curing kinetics and mechanical properties of epoxy based coatings: The influence of added solvent
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of organic solvent on coating properties, their mechanical properties and curing kinetics were discussed in terms of different solvent content, and different adhesive failure modes were observed with the increasing amount of solvent in comparison with that of pure epoxy, it transformed from cohesive to adhesive failure.

Application of isoconversional calculation procedure to non-isothermal kinetic study: III. Thermal decomposition of ammonium cobalt phosphate hydrate
TL;DR: In this paper, the activation energy associated with the first, second and third stages of the thermal decomposition of NH 4 CoPO 4 ·H 2 O were obtained, which demonstrate that the three stages are all a single-step kinetic process and can be adequately described by a unique kinetic triplet.

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).
