Estimation of Critical Rate of Temperature Rise for Thermal Explosion of First Order Autocatalytic Decomposition Reaction Systems by Using Non-isothermal DSC

摘要

A method of estimating the critical rate of temperature rise for the thermal explosion of first order auto-catalytic decomposition reaction systems by using non-isothermal DSC is presented. The information was obtained on the increasing rate of temperature for the first order autocatalytic decomposition of nitrocellulose containing 13. 86% nitrogen converting into the thermal explosion.
