A New AC-Radio Frequency Heating Calorimetry Technique for Complex Fluids

A New AC-Radio Frequency Heating Calorimetry Technique for Complex Fluids

We have developed a new modulation calorimetry technique using RF-Field heating. This technique eliminates temperature gradients across the sample leading to a higher precision in evaluating the heat capacity compared to the previous techniques. A frequency scan was carried out on a 8CB+aerosil sa...
