The heat capacity of titanium and zirconium was measured in the temperature range from approximately 1,300 K to 1,800 K . The measurement technique is based on the modulated power method originally proposed by Fecht and Johnson. The heat capacity of a sample can be derived from the sample's temperature response to the modulated electromagnetic heating power if the sample's total hemispherical emissivity is known. The experiments were performed using an electromagnetic levitator. The solid titanium and zirconium samples were suspended in the center of an induction coil with a very small diameter (0.15 mm) Pt (87 %)-Rh (13 %) wire. The heat capacity measurements of titanium and zirconium are presented, and the uncertainty is estimated to be ±3 %.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
