Aerospace | The technique of detecting endothermic and exothermic phase changes and other processes within a heated material by the corresponding temperature changes. (references) |
Health | Technique by which phase transitions of chemical reactions can be followed by observation of the heat absorbed or liberated. (references) |
Mining | A. A method of analyzing a variety of minerals, esp. clays and other aluminiferous minerals. The method is based upon the fact that the application of heat to many minerals causes certain chemical and physical changes and is reflected in endothermic and exothermic reactions. By comparing the changes in temperature of a mineral heated at a definite rate with that of a thermally inert substance (alumina, for example) heated under the same conditions, a curve or pattern is obtained that is characteristic of the particular mineral under examination b. Thermal analysis carried out by uniformly heating or cooling a sample that undergoes chemical and physical changes, while simultaneously heating or cooling in identical fashion a reference material that undergoes no changes. The temperature difference between the sample and the reference material is measured as a function of the temperature of the referencematerial. Abbrev: DTA. (references) |
