Heat transfer in salt solutions enclosed in DSC cells

This study addresses the heat transfer in differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) cells during the melting process of an eutectic solution. The energy and entropy equations for two-dimensional transient thermal analysis with associated boundary and initial conditions are solved numerically using a fixed grid numerical model with the finite control volume approach. Proper trends and a good agreement between the results of theoretical modeling and experiment results are obtained. A parametric study with various associated parameters is performed and results are illustrated.
