Errors, Limitations, and Other Factors Affecting Results

Errors, Limitations, and Other Factors Affecting Results 

The errors in the determination of temperature versus heat content or time curves have been discussed in detail by Smit (31) and McCullough and 

Waddington (17). The former discussed the qualitative consideration concerning the rates of phase transitions, the rates of diffusion, and the temperature differences occurring with the thin-film method. The latter were concerned with the limitations ofthe calorimetric method based on the results of more than 125 melting-point studies.
