I do not know what you mean by "topped." Do you mean when the steam or hot water emerged? Nothing registered in the cooling water loop until 13:20, which is presumably when that happened. As Fletcher and Blanton just pointed out. It was heating up before then, and no doubt most of the heat was radiating away. Between 13:20 and 15:50 when heat after death began, the overall reaction was exothermic. There was some excess heat. There would have been much more if this calorimeter had a better recovery rate. With the primary steam loop open no doubt it lost a lot of heat. > , and after until the self sustaining mode, it seems was all the heating > was caused by the heater and not by an excess heating. As I said, it not possible that the heating during the self-sustaining period "was caused by the heater." Nearly all of the heat from the heater left the system the moment it entered it, as you see in the graph. If there had been no heat generation, the temperature would have fallen immediately. It would have declined even faster than it did after 19:30. You can see that it would reach ambient temperature in less than an hour. > I don`t see where you claim there was an evidence of excess energy before > the self sustaining mode. The output curve is higher than the input! It is right there! - Jed
