Determination of the Heat Transfer Coefficient in Polymerization Reactors by Temperature Oscillation Calorimetry

The use of different calorimetric techniques permits the determination of global kinetic and thermodynamic parameters as well as heat transfer, stirrer power and safety data under a wide range of operations. In this work emphasis is put on the use of Temperature Oscillation Calorimetry, an innovative technique that allows quasi-isothermal heat flow calorimetric studies under conditions of variable heat transfer. The data obtained using different calorimeters are in good agreement
