Testing of the NBS clinical microcalorimeter

Abstract

ForewordThe use of clinical laboratory tests of physiological fluids for specific components has been rapidly increasing in the past few years.One aspect of this has been an increase in the number of tests for well-known particular substances for which satisfactory

Enthalpy of Combustion on n‐Alkanes. Quantum Chemical Calculations up to n‐C60H122 and Power Law Distributions

“…Since 1945, measurements of heats of combustion made by Rossini, [3,4] from methane to eicosane and various isoalkanes, are the generally accepted values but the accuracy of some of those measurements is questionable. [5] The generally accepted values of heats of formation of the lower n-alkanes derived from measurements of their heats of combustion.…”

High Precision Microcalorimetry: Apparatus, Procedures, and Biochemical Applications

“…Our microcalorimeters are modelled after the one described by Prosen [5], a schematic of which is shown in figure I. Essentially, it is a heat-conduction microcalorimeter' which accommodates a single bicompartmental reaction vessel.…”

The Characterization of Internal Power Losses in Pacemaker Batteries by Calorimetry

“…Since self-discharge is essentially a chemical reaction occurring inside the battery, it can be measured and studied by determining the rate of heat production of the battery in a calorimeter (1)(2)(3)(4)(5). All batteries are subject to internal self-discharge which, in turn, limits or shortens the life of the batteries.…”
