Kinetics of Transitions with a Latent Heat

The kinetics of processes with a latent heat, such as crystallisation and melting, can be measured either directly by isothermal or non-isothermal measurement of the latent heat or by observation of the change of the heat 

Modifications of Eq. (25) have been derived for other growth situations, but are not reliable, or not sound mathematically. Similarly, non-isothermal kinetics analyses are rather uncertain unless they are supported by structural data and isothermal thermal analysis. If the latter is available, however, non-isothermal data are not needed, except, perhaps, for quality control.
