Measurement of specific heat capacity via fast scanning calorimetry—Accuracy and loss corrections

Measurement of Specific Heat Capacity of Saltstone

Measurement of Heat Capacity by Differential Scanning Calorimetry

The methods of measuring the heat capacity of materials by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) are presented and discussed. The principles of temperature modulated DSC are outlined and the possibilities and limits of the method are discussed.

Measurement of Specific Heat Functions by Differential Scanning Calorimetry

When a sample material is subjected to a linear temperature program, the heat flow rate into the sample i s proportional to its instantaneous specific heat. By recording this heat flow rate as a function of temperature, and comparing it with the heat flow rate into a standard material under the same conditions, the specific heat of the sample i s determined as a fundion of temperature. The meth...

Measurement of the specific heat capacity of liver phantom.

Phantoms are often used to simulate tissue during the development, testing and calibration of medical devices. In order to infer the specific absorption rate (SAR) and resistive heating in phantoms from temperature measurements, the specific heat capacity and density of the phantom are needed. Stauffer et al (2003 Int. J. Hyperth. 19 89-101) developed several phantoms that mimic dielectric prop...

Rapport BIPM-2006/01 Measurement of the Specific Heat Capacity of Graphite

With the objective of implementing graphite calorimetry at the BIPM to measure absorbed dose, an experimental assembly has recently been constructed to measure the specific heat capacity of graphite. A status description of the apparatus and results from the first measurements are given. The outcome is discussed and the experimental uncertainty is reviewed.
