It was being used as a flow calorimeter by Patterson et al., in the data reported by them. But my data came from another, non-flow configuration. My readings agreed with theirs. I was careful to hold the cut at the same height as the reservoir, to keep the flow rate from changing. I removed the hose from the reservoir, moved it to the cup until I collected 1 liter, and then put the hose back. Then I stirred the water and measured the temperature in the cup, and then in the reservoir. Anyone who thinks that method does not work has no grasp of basic physics, and no common sense. - Jed
