The construction of an adiabatic calorimeter and its use in measuring specific heats

A fluidless adiabatic calorimeter was constructed and was used to measure the specific heats of manganese-aluminum-carbon and manganese-zinc-carbon alloys from -150° to 150°C. In an adiabatic calorimeter, the temperature of a shield surrounding the calorimeter vessel is kept at approximately the sa...
