Bilanz-reaktionskalorimetrie

Reaction calorimetry is used to investigate chemical or physical reactions under realistic process conditions.The capabilities of the measuring system and the versatility of the evaluation principle are described at a simple example: dosing of cold water into the warmer reactor and heating up of the reactor content.The base of the calorimetric computations are the complete mass and heat balances. Hence the known heat fluxes can be used to give the true heat production rate of the reaction, as the example shows.The results demonstrate that even for chemical systems which produce (or consume) rather small amounts of heat, still high precision of the calorimetric data can be achieved.
