Abstract:
The study of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles is currently one of the popular research topics. However, a vital issue for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles is the hydrogen tank safety when hydrogen tank catch fires. In this paper, the carbon fibre-epoxy composite from hydrogen tank was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis. Thermogravimetric experiments were carried out at three heating rates (20, 30 and 40 K/min) in a nitrogen atmosphere. A two-step parallel reaction scheme was developed for the decomposition of the carbon-fibre epoxy composite based on the K-K method and previous studies. The kinetic reaction scheme was coupled to Shuffled Complex Evolution (SCE) method to obtain optimized kinetic parameters. The predicted values using the optimized kinetic parameters show a good agreement with the experimental data, which shows the potential promising application of the reaction scheme and optimized kinetic parameters of the carbon-fibre epoxy composite.

Classifying Matter by Composition
According to its composition, the matter can be classified into two broad categories — pure substances and mixtures.
A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition throughout with uniform properties. For example, any sample of sucrose has the same composition and same physical properties, such as melting point, color, and sweetness, regardless of the source from which it is isolated.
A mixture is composed of two or...
