Problem solving and applications of thermal methods

  • Chapter
Book cover Thermal Methods of Analysis

Abstract

In industry and in academic research and teaching, thermal methods are used most frequently to solve problems, or to aid in their solution together with other analytical techniques. It is the aim of this chapter to illustrate typical problems and to suggest the thermal methods that may help in their solution or in the understanding of the phenomena that cause the problem. Many of the problems have arisen in the course of recent research in chemical and engineering laboratories. Some occurred in industry or consultancy where the problem had to be solved as quickly and as completely as possible.
