A. Krauss et M. Roos, HEAT-CONDUCTION, CONVECTION AND RADIOLYSIS OF THE H-2 O-2 SYSTEM IN THE WATER ABSORBED DOSE CALORIMETER/, Thermochimica acta, 310(1-2), 1998, pp. 53-60
The calorimeter allows the water absorbed dose, a measure of radiother
apy, to be measured according to its definition. Different detector ty
pes are used in the PTB calorimeter; this paper discusses heat conduct
ion, convection and the radiolysis of the H-2/O-2 system for a 'seated
' detector. The 'sealed' detector allows the calorimeter to be operate
d at room temperature in the case of Co-60-gamma-radiation. (C) 1998 E
