Abstract
The present invention generally relates to an adiabatic scanning calorimeter for simultaneous measurements of the temperature dependence of heat capacity and enthalpy of liquids and solids and phase transitions therein. Moreover, the invention allows for an accurate separation between pretransitional enthalpy variations and true latent heats at first-order or weakly first-order phase transitions. In addition, the invention relates to calorimeters for controlling temperature differences and heat fluxes in different modes of operation.
