Explosion Method

The determination of the specific heats of gases at high temperatures is a problem of unusual difficulty and the attempts hitherto made to measure specific heats at temperatures exceeding 1200° C have been by the "explosion method." This method involves the observation of transient phenomena and also the estimation of a relatively large radiation correction.

Polymer Powders

The specific heats of five polymers were determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in the temperature range of 300 to 360 K. The measurements were performed with polymers in the form of films, powders, and granules to clarify whether or not DSC specific heat values are dependent on the diminution of the sample. It was found that the specific heats for the bulk and powdered form of the polymer samples are indistinguishable within the error limits, justifying the determination of specific heats of powders by means of DSC.

AbstractObservations of quiescent prominences show rising plumes, dark in chromospheric lines, that propagate from large bubbles. In this paper we present a method that may be used to determine the plasma β (ratio of gas pressure to magnetic pressure) from the rising plumes. Using the classic fluid dynamic solution for flow around a circular cylinder, the compression of the prominence material can be estimated. Application to a prominence gave an estimate of the plasma β as β=0.47−1.13 for a ratio of specific heats of γ=1.4−1.7.

Secular Determinant

A secular determinant for the determination of vibration frequencies of lithium has been set up by Launay’s method which takes the electron gas into account. Theoretical elastic constants have been used in the calculation of the force constants. Frequencies have been calculated for 47 points of the first Brillouin zone which gives the value of 3 x 1000 = 3000 frequencies by symmetry. Specific heats have been calculated by numerical computation in the range 300 to 6°K and show good agreement with the experimental data. The agreement below liquid-air temperatures is surprising in view of the known phase transformation of lithium.

Specific Heats

In a previous paper an account was given of experiments to determine the specific heats of carbon monoxide up to a temperature of 1800° C. by the sound velocity method. The principle of the method employed was the setting up in a heated tube of a stationary train of sound waves; the source of the wave system being a quartz crystal vibrating piezo-electrically at a known frequency.
