I made some revisions to my "Report on Mizuno's Adiabatic Calorimetry."

On page 15 I added a photograph of the equipment with the aluminum foil
tent over it. On page 24 I added a discussion of heat from the circulation
pump. The key point is:


". . . [W]ith this method of adiabatic calorimetry the 0.6°C temperature
increase over ambient is not included in the calculation of excess heat,
because the pump is left on all the time, and it always does the same
amount of work, so the temperature is always 0.6°C above ambient. To be
specific, with this method, the starting water temperature is subtracted
from the ending water temperature, and the starting temperature is already
0.6°C warmer than ambient.

With other methods of calorimetry, heat is measured by comparing the
reactor temperature to ambient. With these methods, heat from the pump has
to be subtracted from the total, or it will be mistaken for excess heat."
