(a) Cumulative released heat in different substages: 0-1 (h), 1–3 (h), 3–11 (h), and 11–72 (h). (b) Cumulative released heat after 72 hours of hydration, discretized according to the phenomenon (diffusional and chemical) by which hydration is governed. Data of the table represents cumulative heat after 72 hours of hydration.
