Calorimetry is the study of heat reading in chemical changes or physical changes. It is a thermoanalytical method that measure changes in enthalpy or heat during when the reaction is in progress. [1]
Types of Calorimetry:
There are two main types related to calorimetry:
1. Constant pressure calorimetry.
This measures heat at constant pressure, and represented by "qp" or delta H.
2. Constant Volume calorimetry.
This measures heat at constant volume and represented by "qv" or delta E. [2]
Other types are as follows:
Scanning calorimetry:
(Julian M. Sturtevant) In this calorimeter, there is the measurement of the specific heat of the system as the function of the temperature. Differential scanning Calorimetry is the measurement of the change of the difference in the heat flow rate to the sample and to a reference sample while they are subjected to a controlled temperature program. [3]
Indirect calorimetry:
(D. C. Simonson et al.)Indirect calorimetry is the net rate of disappearence of a substrate (It is not importantly the metabolic changings that the substrate may undergo before its removal from its metabolic pool.)
