A One-dimensional Model of a Conduction Calorimeter

Abstract
An idealized one-dimensional model of a conduction calorimeter, composed of a container in which thermal change occurs, a thermal bath, and a solid thermal conductor connecting the container with the thermal bath, is presented. The boundary-value problem of heat conduction in the model calorimeter is solved by the Laplace transformation method. A proportionality relation between the quantity of heat evolved in the calorimeter container and the area enclosed by the recorded temperature curve and the time axis is establised.
