Title: A Mass Calorimeter

Abstract: The Calorimeter to be described is based on the comparison of the BTU input of a known heat source to that of an unknown source. The known source is a constant-power electric heater and the unknown source is a gas flame. Both heat sources transfer their heat to a stream of air. The air streams are equal or in a constant ratio. The temperatures of the two streams of air are measured before and after being heated by the electric and gas heaters. The ratio of the temperature rise of the gas heated stream to the electric heated stream is the ratio of the BTU of one to the other. Because the BTU of the electric input is known, the BTU of the gas input can be derived:
