A new method for calculating time to maximum rate under adiabatic condition
Time to maximum rate under adiabatic condition (TMRad) is a widely-used parameter for evaluation of the probability of decomposition reactions of substances or reactive mixtures under adiabatic conditions. The traditional method for calculation of TMRad necessitates the kinetics and thermodynamics of the decomposition reactions
such as pre-exponential factor
activation energy
reaction order and decomposition enthalpy. To calculate the TMRad using accelerating rate calorimeter (ARC)
a whole thermal curve including both onset decomposition temperature and final temperature is required. However
due to the complexity of reaction mechanism or safe operation of calorimetric experiment
the final temperature is often unavailable
meaning the traditional method is in failure. Therefore
to solve this problem
this paper proposes a new method for calculating TMRad
which is based on the assumption that the consumption of reactants is negligible within a narrow temperature range relative to the whole exothermic curve. Moreover
the experiment results also prove the flexibility of this new method to exothermic curve including final temperature.
