Basic Principles and Terminology 2. Heat-flux, or heat-conductive, or Calvet-type DSC heat flux is measured outside of the sample assuming that it is proportional to the T on different distances from it Calvet calorimetry (incl. DSC): - none of the TC s measures the temperature of the sample (!!!); - the DSC signal is formed as T between two cylindrical surfaces (inner and outer) on different distances from the sample Andrey Tarasov, FHI MPG 43

the sample does not play the role of thermal resistance ; no tight contact between sample (and reference) holder(s) and the sensor is required; 3D heat sensing; good gas-solid mass-transfer conditions; high compatibility (e.g. with TGA) relatively low temporal resolution 3D vs. 2D sensing: more efficient (complete) capturing of heat fluxes from/to the sample lower sensitivity to the sample properties!!!
