Virtual model of the differential pulse reversible calorimeter

Abstract

A new method of absolute heat capacity measurement was developed in the Department of Biological Systems Physics at the E. Andronikashvili Institute of Physics, Georgian Academy of Sciences. This is the method of absolute heat capacity measurement of the differential calorimetric ampoule sample and reference cells and the adiabatic shell temperature difference registration while stepwise alteration of temperature (increase or decrease) of system occurs. The new method makes possible to determine both the heat capacities of the sample and reference cells and their difference. The method of cell temperature difference compensation is used in order to decrease in the time of equilibrium establishment. The proposed method of absolute heat capacity measurement was implemented in the model of the virtual differential pulse reversible calorimeter.
