I'm getting graphs where the degree of hydration of 20% fly ash cement is above normal OPC cement at 25 degree centigrade.
So does degree of hydration depend on curing temperature?
Thank you sir for the answer.
But I have nothing do with Ca(OH)2. I used the H(t)/HT formula for degree of hydration.
I'll send you my excel sheet where I have done the calculations please review that and suggest me what to do. Thank you In advance :)
How do you define the fly ash content ? What does 20% means ? Is it a replacement amount ?
I agree with the above answer. Adding fly ashes reduces the hydration rate and lowers the ultimate degree of hydration.
Check the HT value for the two cements. Is HT(OPC)>HT(PPC)? If yes, then H(t)/HT can be more for PPC since it is a ratio.
In calorimetry, there may be problem in handling initial data. You should check also initial data.
I have a problem defining the boundary conditions to this system. I have done the virtual work functional equation but got struck in the boundary conditions. Please help me.

Eg: at 0.65 hours heat evolution rate is 0.025 (W/g) We know (1 J/s = 1W) 0.65*3600=2340 sec, 0.025 J/s/g ; So, 0.025*2340 = 58.5 J/g so is this equal to 0.65 hrs = 0.025 W/g?
