Abstract

An earlier numerical analysis showed that the second approximate method of Horowitz and Metzger can be rendered exceedingly accurate for reduction of thermogravimetry data. It is demonstrated here that this result can be justified on the basis of an asymptotic expansion with a nondimensional activation energy as the large parameter. The order of magnitude of the error is ascertained for this and two other approximate methods. Higher-order terms in the approximation are developed.
