Sometimes it's inconvenient not to be able to use one's own identity. I have written peer reviewed and published papers (coauthored) in heat transfer measurement using heat flux transducers as well as in calorimetry methods. Unfortunately, I can't cite them. I don't rely on what I claim as a background to achieve credibility. I expect my assertions to stand on their own. I would add that I know very well I assisted in the design, testing, field use, and evaluation of calorimeters (I never said I made one, you made that up). Therefore it's obvious to me that Rothwell can take known facts and come up with absurd conclusions. I have made technical assertions about Rossi's calorimetry. I have pointed how how ridiculously deficient it is, how he chooses the exact methods that are likely to have faults and errors, and that he avoids two methods (sparging steam in a container and using a liquid coolant only) that would be vastly better. I also pointed out that he avoid proper blanks and calibrations which you tried to refute by alluding to irrelevant and inappropriate boiler and HVAC field work. I am starting to doubt how much you know about calorimetry and I have grave doubts about what you know regarding not getting flummoxed.
