The hydrogen will convect and distribute the heat quite evenly throughout the cylinder, there will only be a small temperature gradient top to bottom. Also results were calibrated against a non LENR heating wire in the same reactor. So I partly agree, calorimetry is imperfect, but probably good enough given the relatively large LENR output.
It would be nice to see a loose fitting secondary clear acrylic tube placed around the borosilicate tube, with air blown through by a small computer fan. measure the flow rate and temperature differential and you have a simple flow calorimeter that won't chill the borosilicate glass excessively, and yet retains all of the visibility. Could be calibrated using the non-lenr wire. On 16 August 2012 11:25, Mark Snoswell <msnosw...@chavaenergy.com> wrote: > Hm...
