Measured heat pulse

The third method is a variation of the second a heat pulse dg is supplied, keeping both the pressure and temperature constant by means of a feedback system. In this process, some moles of liquid 3He are solidified the latent heat of solidification is the measured dg. Since from Clapeyron equation ... 

Only in the latter case, the measurement is practically adiabatic. Otherwise, it is necessary to extrapolate data to get the effective ST at t = 0 (start of the heat pulse) [2,3], The heat capacity of the addendum (Caddendum = CXh + CSp + CH) can be obtained by a separate measurement without the sample. The heat pulse technique is typically used in the 0.05 1 K temperature range. 

The instruments for polymer HPLC except for the columns (Section 16.8.1) and for some detectors are in principle the same as for the HPLC of small molecules. Due to sensitivity of particular detectors to the pressure variations (Section 16.9.1) the pumping systems should be equipped with the efficient dampeners to suppress the rest pulsation of pressure and flow rate of mobile phase. In most methods of polymer HPLC, and especially in SEC, the retention volume of sample (fraction) is the parameter of the same importance as the sample concentration. The conventional volumeters— siphons, drop counters, heat pulse counters—do not exhibit necessary robustness and precision [270]. Therefore the timescale is utilized and the eluent flow rate has to be very constant even when rather viscous samples are introduced into column. The problems with the constant eluent flow rate may be caused by the poor resettability of some pumping systems. Therefore, it is advisable to carefully check the actual flow rate after each restarting of instrument and in the course of the long-time experiments. A continuous operation— 24h a day and 7 days a week—is advisable for the high-precision SEC measurements. THE or other eluent is continuously distilled and recycled.

The specific heat at constant pressure, Cpf of the HIP-treated sample with nominal composition LaVg 25 0,7504 was measured over the temperature range 4-400 K by the heat pulse method in a calorimeter that incorporates a feedback system to regulate the temperature of concentric radiation shields surrounding the sample (9). The Cp values are accurate to within 1%, as determined by calibration runs using a polycrystalline copper sample and a sapphire single crystal sample.

Flow measurement has been achieved without the use of beads or dyes. A short heating pulse generated by a C02 infrared laser (10.6 pm) was delivered through the IR-transparent Si wafer into the channel. The radiative image of the hot liquid plug was recorded by an IR camera [414].

In other studies of mixing time Mohle and Waeser (Mil) introduced a heat pulse into a vessel and observed the time for two thermocouples in the liquid to indicate the same temperature, but reported only very limited data. Beerbower et al. (B3) added a small amount of radioactive iodine-32, and used Geiger counters to measure the time required to reach a uniform dispersion, for several grease- and asphalt-blending kettles of special design.

Due to the short length of a probe temperature rise (about 1 ps) the measurement stage is shifted to the cooling tail followed by the shock heating pulse.The cooling process is recorded due to relatively low, so-called monitoring current across the probe. The shock pulse may be superimposed on... 

Two types of measurements are made with the adsorption calorimeter, also previously described (3). In the batch mode a dry-solid surface is covered with a solution. In the flow mode the enthalpy changes result from a solution flowing through a bed of adsorbent. The flow system uses an LKB 10200 Perpex pump (reference to specific trade names does not imply endorsement by the Department of Energy) with a flow rate of approximately 12 g h 1. Because the silicone tubing on the pump may adsorb surfactant, the pump is placed at the output of the flow system and draws the solution through the cell. An Altex six-way valve is at the input of the flow system, and any one of six solutions can be selected to flow through the cell. Minimum detectable heat pulse is 4.5 x 10 Cal for the batch and minimum power output is 2.4 x 10 ca sec for the flow mode. Measurements reported for the adsorption study were made at 25° and 30° C 0.05° C. 

Another method for measuring thermal diffusivity is the flash method developed by Parker et al. [48] and successfully used for the thermal diffusivity measurement of solid materials [49]. A high intensity short duration heat pulse is absorbed in the front surface of a thermally insulated sample of a few millimeters thick. The sample is coated with absorbing black paint if the sample is transparent to the heat pulse. The resulting temperature of the rear surface is measured by a thermocouple or infrared detector, as a function of time and is recorded either by an oscilloscope or a computer having a data acquisition system. The thermal diffusivity is calculated from this time-temperature curve and the thickness of the sample. This method is commercialized now, and there are ready made apparatus with sample holders for fluids. There is only one publication on nanofluids with this method. Shaikh et al. [50] measured thermal conductivity of carbon nanoparticle doped PAO oil. 

This is a very thorough study of the heat capacity of monoclinic zirconium dioxide using the heat pulse method. However, the experimental data are not reported nor are the discrepancies between the measured data and temperature dependent heat capacity equations determined from the data. Additionally, uncertainty estimates are not reported, although measurements performed by the authors on samples of AI2O3 and sapphire indicate that published heat capacity results can be reproduced to better than 1.5%. The same degree of uncertainty is assumed for the results for zirconium dioxide. 

Parameters such as impeller speed and shaft power (in a stirred bioreactor) and fluid velocity are indicators of the degree of mixing and thus play an important role in the control of mass transfer. Impeller speed is easily monitored with a tachometer (electronic or mechanical) [39], but the measurement of shaft power input is not as straightforward. The most common method utilizes a torsion dynamometer attached to the impeller drive however, this technique includes losses due to friction in the drive shaft. Better data can be obtained from balanced strain gauges mounted on the impeller [37]. On-line measurement of the liquid velocity in a flowing or stirred system can be obtained by a heat-pulse method in which a resistance thermometer is used to measure a brief temperature increase caused by an upstream pair of electrodes [43]. Use of this sensor system has been limited to laboratory applications.
