Abstract

The steady state of temperature modulated power compensation DSC has been theoretically investigated for measurements of complex heat capacity, taking accounts of heat capacities of heat paths, heat loss to the environment, and mutual heat exchange between the sample and the reference material. Thermal contact between the sample cell and the cell holder is also taken into accounts. Rigorous and general solutions are obtained. From these solutions application of the technique to heat capacity measurements is discussed.
