Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a valuable resource for scientists aiming to accurately measure heat for a variety of known processes, associated material changes, and reactions. It begins with the fundamental principles of calorimetry and its terminology before discussing various heat units, constants, and standard reference substances. The author shares methods for choosing the most effective calorimetric technique based on the accuracy and properties of the sample and includes chapters dedicated to heat flow considerations, such as heat transfer by conduction and radiation, with practical applications to calorimeter designs. Of particular note is the section on heat leak errors and methods for minimizing their impact on calorimeter accuracy. This book's comprehensive and practical approach is sure to prove useful to scientists and engineers working in both industrial and research settings.
