Conclusions
-
1.
The suggested design for a calorimetric apparatus serves, to evaluate quickly with a small error (±3.5%) the specific heat of liquids.
-
2.
This measurement precision can be attained even with a temperature difference between the calorimetric liquid and the jacket attaining 80°C, provided that the equipment comprises a vessel with vacuum-filled walls, a cork dust stopper, an ebonite carrier with a glass tube, etc.
-
3.
It has been established experimentally that the thermal value of the suggested calorimetric equipment remains virtually constant for a calorimetric liquid temperature change from 20 to 95°C.
