Kinetics and Lumped Parameter Model of Tardive Excess Thermal Power

The time-integral of tardive excess thermal power (TETP) was previously misnamed "heat after death"\footnote{Pons, S., Fleischman, M., Trans Fusion Tech, 26, 4T, Part 2, p. 87 (1994).}. We have examined the kinetics of tardive excess thermal power (TETP) which occurs after driving, fully loaded, activated, spiral wound cold fusion Phusor cathodes (Pd/D2O/Pt;\footnote{Swartz. M., G. Verner, Proc. ICCF-10 (2004).}$^,$\footnote{Swartz. M., Proc.ICCF-10 (2003).}) at their optimal operating point\footnote{Swartz, M., Fusion Technology, 31, 63-74 (1997).}. TETP, after input electrical power produced an excess power (compared to an ohmic joule control) of 165$+/-$15 percent [excess power $\approx$1.3 Watts], had kinetics suggestive of two distinct sources or physical active regions within the lattice\footnote{Swartz. M., G. Verner, ICCF-11 (2004).}. An electrical engineering TETP model had good correlation. The active palladium lattice has a deuteron-loading capacitance of $\approx$64 micromoles per volt*. The lattice admittance for the TETP reactions ($\approx$7 picomoles/[sec-volt*]) is dwarfed by the admittance for outgassing deuteron loss ($\approx$15 nanomoles/[sec-volt*]).
