Expanding the role of reaction calorimetry

Abstract Reaction calorimetry, a scientific tool designed to measure the rate of heat evolution occurring during a reaction or other process, has been employed in various capacities over the last 30 years. Recently, it has expanded to find a variety of uses in process development, process safety and basic research. This review acquaints the reader with the theoretical principles, measurements that can be made and surrounding issues of reaction calorimetry, and then methodically presents the different types of investigations which have been and are being performed in various laboratories around the world. This review also considers aspects of the equipment and how these features play a role in the quality and type of data obtained. The mathematical solution(s) to the energy balance in a variety of cases is presented along with examples of their use in the literature
