I suggest you ignore Shanahan's blather. Let him go after some definitive
work such as McKubre, Storms or Miles. Kitamura's calorimetry was not
impressive years ago, although I doubt it was as bad as Shanahan imagines.
It is lately improved and the results are also better. See:
through?Even though I think Shanahan's
approach conclusions are bogus, I think his paper should be added to your
library.

I had a brief conversation at ICCF-15 with Takahashi about mixing in
the Kitamura experiment. I got the impression that they use some sort
of mechanical mixing, but that is incorrect. He sent me an e-mail
that clarifies the situation:
We do not need stirrer (magnetic or else), as our spiral
Takahashi also pointed out that calibrations with a Joule heater
return a large fraction of the heat reliably, which proves the
instrument works. It is kind of noisy, as you would expect, but it works.
All along I have acknowledged that the calibrations worked but that
slow flow bothered me.
