The energy needed to increase the temperature of a material is measured as heat capacity, which is a structure sensitive property. Traditional differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) can readily ...

Many technicians believe the only way to verify refrigerant charge on a heat pump in heating mode is to recover the existing refrigerant charge and weigh in the factory charge. However, most ...

In DSC, the heat flow determined is directly proportional to the specific heat capacity. Hence C p is calculated directly from the DSC signal (Φ meas). In order to do this, the DSC curve is corrected ...

To develop a generalized correlation for natural gas heat capacity, the author conducted an extensive investigation of heat capacity as a function of temperature, pressure, and composition. To develop ...
