Theory of Calorimetry

The purpose of this book is to give a comprehensive description of the theoretical fundamentals of calorimetry. The considerations are based on the relations deduced from the laws and general equations of heat exchange theory and steering theory. The calorimeter is described as a physical object of well-defined thermal and dynamic parameters. The mathematical models of calorimeters are formulated. A classification of calorimeters is given. The methods of the determination of heat effects and analysis of the course of heat effects in the calorimeters are presented and discussed. The book enables the reader to understand the principles of operation of various types of calorimeters. This is the first book to deal with theoretical description of calorimetric systems.Zielenkiewicz, Wojciech is the author of 'Theory of Calorimetry', published 2002 under ISBN 9781402007972 and ISBN 1402007973.
