Howdy Horace,
Been following your series of posts. Fascinating.
The calorimeter thought stimulated my imagination and reminded me of the a
guy I once worked with that designed many of the Beckman Instrument lab test
apparatus years ago. His specialty was in differential measurement and
always thought along the lines that it was never as important to " fix" a
measurement as long as your device measured with repeatibility and could
reach extreme precise repeatibility. He achieved this by comparison or
measuring the difference in two supposedly identical readings. Beckman
aircomparison picnometer was an example.
Question .. can two calorimenters be designed for comparison?
