Piloyan Method to Determine the Activation Energy from DTA is Defectivein Addition to other Methods which do not take into Account the ThermalInertia

Abstract

The paper displays that the traditional method of kinetic evaluation of activation energies by simple portioning of the as-cast DTA curves is erroneous because is missing the impact of thermal inertia which is known since the Newton cooling law. This error is interwoven into all methods using thermal measurements. The method derivation is upgraded when using the missing terms.
