A sampling device is described which enables the Picker flow heat capacity calorimeter to handle viscous liquids. The necessary constant liquid flow through the calorimetric cell is achieved by an overpressure on the entering liquids, and can be maintained by pressure control. In addition, the device permits automatic measurement of a number of samples. The approach is applied to densities and heat capacities of binary mixtures of dimethylformamide and the viscous liquids N-ethylacetamide, N-n-propylacetamide, and N-n-butylacetamide. The results appear to be accurate enough to establish excess molar heat capacities as well as apparent molar heat capacities.
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.
