2. Principle of thermal methods
Calorimetry is a very old method, dating back to Lavoisier and Laplace in the 18th century. Since then, countless thermal analysis and calorimetry devices have been developed, some of which are now on the market. In order to better understand them, we'll now classify the different calorimeters.
2.1 Calorimeter classification
F. and J. Rouquerol have proposed a systematic classification for calorimeters. This is based on the mode of heat exchange between the sample and the environment. Two groups of calorimeters are defined: adiabatic...
