2.4 Thermal analysis of the metal particles for renewable energy sources - Metal particles have many advantages in that…
- High energy density
- Can be reusable by oxidation and reduction cycle process
- Thermal analysis for
- Energetic materials (pyrotechnics, propellants, and explosives)
- Various metal particles which can be utilized as renewable energy carrier
- Identification of the thermodynamic properties & extraction of reaction kinetics
- Physical/chemical changes
- thermodynamic characteristics
- Ignition characteristics (Ignition delay time, burning rate, etc.)
- Variation in kinetic parameters (activation energy&pre-exponential factor)
- Reaction analysis (endo- or exothermic reactions, peak temperature, etc.)
