Abstract

Modifications to the calorimeter since it was last described are reported briefly. An analysis is given showing that it is unnecessary to know precisely the temperature of the calorimeter environment, provided the equilibrium temperature of the calorimeter is adequately established. A detailed estimate and discussion of the errors, both random and systematic, associated with the operation of the calorimeter is given. It is concluded that the calorimeter is capable of yielding results with scatters as low as 0.1%.
