There seems to be confusion in the text between 200°C and 200°K. In the final chart, temp is marked in K but the question refers to C. In any event, the results seem to be consistent with a requirement at startup for a population of active hydrogen isomer (f/H) which also explains the thermal continuity for a period of time after power shut off. That thermal continuity (heat after death) comes from the continuing reactivity of the population of f/H, until it is depleted. The reason why the thermal gain (heat after death) after shutoff cannot also self-sustain the ongoing conversion of adequate hydrogen into f/H (using these parameters) would demand more information than is given. But, as a guess it probably relates to the equilibrium condition being well-balanced as a function of time when there is added heat, giving slight positive feedback, but sporadic without added heat - such that slight negative feedback ensues without some thermal addition. If the parameters are not exactly correct for this kind of balancing act, then a runaway reaction is the result - thus they have been set precisely. Jones
