Modeling of a power compensated adiabatic reaction system for temperature control design and simulation analyses

Principle structure of a power compensation method for sample container in the accelerating rate calorimeter is introduced. Then a simplified model concerning the dynamic heat transfer between the reacting sample and the sample container during the reaction progress is established. A temperature control strategy based the compensation structure are described. Adiabatic reaction experiments were carried out to verify the validity of the simulation model and the effectiveness of the compensation method. At last, the model was used to analyze feasibilities of some typical data processing methods on the reaction kinetics. The modeling and simulation methods used in this research can be applied to study more complex reaction systems and temperature control strategies for obtaining more accurate adiabatic reaction information in the accelerating rate calorimeter.
