TA – Thermal Analysis Simulator

Simulate simultaneous TGA / DTA / DTG / MS experiments using Cantera.

TA models a sample crucible inside a furnace connected by a heat-transfer wall. The furnace follows a user-defined temperature program (ramps, isothermal holds, cooling segments) while the sample heats through the wall, producing realistic thermal lag. Chemical reactions in the sample generate the DTA and MS signals; phase filtering separates condensed-species mass loss (TGA) from volatile products (MS).
