However, much can be learned from basic chemistry, with calorimetry being a prime example of a technique that can provide information and benefit safer and more efficient production processes.
Indirect calorimetry is increasingly used to investigate why compounds or genetic manipulations affect body weight or composition in small animals. This review introduces the principles of ...
Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC) is a widely utilised technique in biochemistry and biophysics for characterising binding reactions by directly measuring the heat produced or absorbed during ...
Combustion of fuels and the fire triangle Calorimetry. ... Worked example – calculating energy per gram of fuel. 3.5 g of a fuel is burned to heat 50 cm 3 of water.
Differential scanning calorimetry ... For example, when the specimen melts during the heating process, the DSC signal displays an endothermic peak. The characteristic temperature and enthalpy of ...
Phase transitions, as the condensation of a gas to a liquid, are often revealed by a discontinuous behaviour of thermodynamic quantities. For liquid helium, for example, a divergence of the ...
