A calorimetric method for the measurement of the Stefan-Boltzmann constant

Калоqриметрический метод для измерения постоянной Стефана-Больцмана

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

In this paper we present a new calorimetric method for the determination of the Stefan-Boltzmann constant σ at the melting point of ice. The method is completely unaffected by problems related to diffraction effects, which limited the accuracy of most previous experiments in σ determinations.

Riassunto

Si presenta una nuova tecnica calorimetrica per la determinazione della costante di Stefan-Botzmann alla temperatura del ghiaccio fondente. La tecnica non risente in nessun modo dei problemi legati agli effetti di diffrazione, che hanno limitato l'accuratezza della maggior parte delle precedenti determinazioni sperimentali di σ.

Резюме

В этой работе мы предлагаем новый калориметрический метод для определения постоянной Стефана-Больцмана σ в точке плавления льда. Этот метод полностью не зависит от дифракционных эффектов, которые ограничивают точность большинства предыдуших экспериментов по определению σ.
