The main aim of this paper is to fuzzify the kinetic parameters, which have crisp nature, in order to obtain the realistic and accurate results. In the present study, the variance, upper limit of ‘dE’ and the frequency factor are assumed to be fuzzy numbers. The Gaussian distribution is considered as the distribution function, f (E), of Distributed Activation Energy Model (DAEM). The membership and the non-membership functions are evaluated by the trapezoidal fuzzy number. Thermo-analytical data has been found experimentally with the help of TGA/DTG analysis. The approximated solution of DAEM is obtained with the help of asymptotic expansion.
