A mathematical model to predict adiabatic temperatures from isothermal heat evolutions with validation for cementitious materials
Predicting transient temperature developments of adiabatic calorimetry using experimental data of heat evolution of isothermal calorimetry can save engineering costs and improve efficiency. We proposed a multilayer physical model and mathematical solution to carry this task based on the laws of mass action and thermodynamics. We proved that the model is adequate and reported simulation results for cementitious materials. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
