Future projections from some past developments in calorimetric instruments and techniques at Brigham Young University, 1960–2000

The reasons for the rapid and widespread successes of continuous titration solution calorimetry, isothermal power-compensation flow calorimetry, high-precision heat-conduction calorimetry, and temperature-scanning heat-conduction calorimetry are examined. The characteristics of these successes are used to make general predictions about the future of calorimetry.
