1.1 Definition of calorimetry
Ever since the term "calorimeter" was proposed by Lavoisier, calorimetry has always been, both etymologically and practically, the science of heat measurement. There is usually little ambiguity in the meaning of the term "heat" between calorimetrists and thermicists. This is not always the case among physicists, some of whom consider that heat can never be transmitted by radiation , or that it is not a physical quantity but only a process
