Variation of peak temperature with heating rate in differential thermal analysis

Abstract

In differe ntial thermal analys is, the temp erat ure at whi ch th e maxi mum de nection is obse rved varies with h eating rate for certain ty pes of r eactio ns. An ex press ion ca n be d eri ved r elating this variat ion with t h e kin etics of t lw r eaction . By ma kin g a !lumber of d ir-J'erential t her mal patterns at dir-J'er ent h eating rates, t he kinetic eOJl stants can be obtai ned diree Uy from t h e differential t h ermal data.
