If the cell is sensitive to where temperature is measured, light water
will give an entirely different behavior because it has a slightly
different heat transport rate compared to D2O.
However, as far as I know, this will only affect accuracy below 50
milliwatts or so. When there is very large excess heat this factor will
have little impact.
Also, this will have no impact when the temperature is measured outside the
cell, at the cell wall, such as with the calorimeter used by Miles at China
Lake.
It is my understanding that normal water contains 6000 ppm of D2O, not 300
ppm.
The heavy water content ordinary light water is usually quoted at 1:6,700
and sometimes as high as 1:5,400, and Wikipedia says it is 1:3200. That's
150, 185, or 313 ppm -- take your pick. I think the first estimate may be
for deuterons versus protons in water, ignoring the oxygen.
