Experimentally : • Just few temperatures
reaction progress ? 0 % < a < 5 % predictions time 50°C < T < 100°C days < t < months temperature APPLICATION OF HFC The use of HFC enables to gain advanced knowledge on the reaction rate at the early stage of the decomposition experiments T3 T2 T1
Reaction rate Reaction progress Well defined 50°C Because baseline is well defined Well defined 7 years !
Isoconversional methods Uncertainity of thermokinetic analysis : the stages and physico-chemical reaction pathways are generally unknown What do you see below? Young women? Old man? Or both? ? Observed thermal event can be the sum of thermal events created during certain stages of the reaction which are not always known
Isoconversional method Isoconversional methods (model free): Three main modifications of isoconversional method are applied in the literature: - Differential (Friedman) - Integral (Flynn-Ozawa-Wall) - Advanced integral based on non-linear procedure (Vyazovkin) Differential isoconversional method Reaction rate expressed by the Arrhenius equation = Reaction rate at a given reaction progress a is only a function of the temperature A’(a) and E(a) are the pre-exponential factor and apparent activation energy
Ea = 138 kJ/mol Activation energy E as a function of the heat release
Beijing STANAG 2895 A2 (Hot dry)
The assumption that the reaction rate da/dt at a given reaction progress a is only a function of the temperature (differential isoconversional analysis) is acceptable. = It can be applied for a precise life assessment of energetic materials
(a ± 0.1%) very precise predictions long term predictions fast experiments (<10 hours) (>1 year) Conclusion Is it possible ?
(a ± 0.1%) very precise predictions long term predictions fast experiments (<10 hours) (>1 year) Conclusion Is it possible ? If you want to perform fast experiments (DSC) and get long term predictions using thermokinetics do not expect very precise predictions. If you want to perform fast experiments (DSC) and get very precise predictions using thermokinetics do not expect long term predictions. If you want to get long term predictions and expect very precise predictions using thermokinetics do not perform fast experiments (DSC). Do long term HFC experiments instead and perform thermokinetics.
