Cryogenic Calorimeter: Automated, Precise Material Analysis
Low Temperature (10-300 K) Semi-adiabatic Heat Pulse Calorimeter
Tags: Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, India, Science & Exploration
This technology involves the development of a semi-adiabatic heat pulse calorimeter for measuring the specific heat of small solid samples (500 mg to 2 g) at cryogenic temperatures (10 – 300 K). The system is fully automated and provides high accuracy (±2%), making it an excellent cost-effective alternative to expensive imported cryogenic calorimeters. Applications include the refrigeration industry, cryogenic liquid-fueled rocket propulsion, and condensed matter research, where specific heat data is crucial for material characterization and phase transition analysis. The system's design, fabrication, and testing have been successfully established, offering a robust solution for universities, research institutes, and industries.
