Abstract
SOME experiments have recently been made with a flow calorimeter consisting, essentially, of a vertical water-jacketed tube fitted with a burner the height of which could be varied at will. Two similar resistance thermometers, one consisting of a plain platinumrhodium wire and the other a quartz-coated wire, each being of the same overall diameter of 0·0005 in., were placed side by side in the gas stream. The products from the flame could be cooled to any required extent before passing the wires by raising or lowering the burner.
