Flow-Microcalorimetry Principles and Applications for Industry

Isothermal Flow-Microcalorimetry Principles and Applications for Industry 

Microcalorimetry provides a rapid, non-invasive approach to the study of such systems moreover, flow calorimetry has a sensitivity that is superior to many other traditional techniques allowing accurate, quantitative information to be derived from the raw data. 

Each of the parameters determined from the calorimeter makes a unique contribution to the understanding of the rate and mechanism of reaction. The mechanism can be deduced from reaction order, n, activation energy, change in enthalpy, H, change in entropy, A5, the quantity of material reacted and the experimental design. The order of reaction governs the dependency of rate on the reaction components. Determination of the reaction order with respect to individual components will yield the dependency of the rate with the individual reactants. E, H and A5 may yield the information required to elucidate the process that is occurring.
