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

Analysis of the impact of TG data sets on activation energy (E a)
TL;DR: In this paper, an extended kinetic study involving both experimental measurements and modelling elaborations was performed to evaluate the impact of the TG measurements on the Activation Energy (E a) results achieved by implementing the so-called isoconversional model-free methods on both their differential and integral version.

Comprehensive method based on model free method and IKP method for evaluating kinetic parameters of solid state reactions.
TL;DR: A comprehensive method is proposed that predicts the degree of the dependences ofactivation energy on heating programs, selects reliable values of activation energy and extracts the values of variable pre‐exponential factor.

Evaluation and optimization of integral methods for the analysis of thermogravimetric data
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed analysis of the merits and shortcomings of integral methods for the treatment of constant heating rate, non-isothermal kinetic data is presented, where a recently developed linearized approach, which is shown to be of the highest accuracy, is used to conduct some of the analyses.

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).
