Description
Summary:In this paper the systematic application of error analysis, error propagation and sensitivity calculations for the improvement of a calorimeter is shown. Adaptions were made on a SETARAM C-80 heat flux calorimeter to perform measurements of excess-heat data above the boiling point of the components. Test measurements were performed for the system n-hexane - c-hexane at 25, 40, 60 and 80 °C and for glycerol - water at 50 and 70 °C. The analysis of these results, error and sensitivity calculations show the sources of error and permit improvement and tuning of the equipment, which is demonstrated by improved results.
