A. Ortega et al., SHAPE-ANALYSIS OF THE ALPHA-T CURVES OBTAINED BY CRTA WITH CONSTANT ACCELERATION OF THE TRANSFORMATION, Thermochimica acta, 239, 1994, pp. 171-180
A novel aspect of CRTA is examined here, in which the heating of the s
ample is controlled in such a way that the reaction rate is increased
as a linear function of time. It is demonstrated that this novel type
of CRTA can discriminate, from a single curve, between the kinetic mod
els which are described by the so-called ''n-order'' kinetic laws, whi
ch cannot be distinguished by constant transformation rate CRTA.
