Is it true that the maximum temperature attainable by a thermite reaction can be calculated from thermodynamic data?

Yes. The maximum temperature attainable in exothermic reactions such as combustion and thermites can be reliably calculated using thermodynamic data and chemical equilibrium models.

The analysis

The retrieved papers do not specifically study thermite reactions, but papers [1] and [7] provide robust evidence that maximum attainable reaction temperatures (adiabatic temperatures) are fundamentally calculated using thermodynamic data and equilibrium models, directly supporting the core methodological claim.
