Abstract

A method of estimating the critical rate of temperature rise for thermal explosion of first-order autocatalytic decomposition reaction systems using non-isothermal DSC is presented. Information is obtained on the increasing rate of temperature in highly nitrated nitrocellulose containing 14.14% of nitrogen when the first-order autocatalytic decomposition converts into thermal explosion.
