Resumo

A new isothermal calorimeter, designed especially for simultaneously measuring the heat of reaction and the heat transfer data in a reaction solution, is described. The system, called a Constant Heat-Flux Calorimeter, is similar to a differential scanning calorimeter in terms of direct calorimetric measurement of the energies of reaction, but differs from the conventional calorimeters described in the literature. With this device, one recorded output in a temperature control circuit is a linear function of change in energies of reaction, and second in a differential temperature control circuit is found to be proportional to a resistance to heat transfer in a solution. The performance of the calorimeter was evaluated on the basis of some results on heat transfer data of aqueous solution of polyethylene glycol and on solution polymerization of styrene at constant temperatures.
