It makes sense. Can't say whether or not it's actually correct.
He's assuming the heat transfer coefficient between the die and the water in the block is constant (probably true) and making a graph of q vs. deltaT. This should be a linear correlation, or nearly so, and should have an intersection point very near zero. The problem is that he assumes he can get a temperature accuracy of the water in the block much better than 0.1C. Not likely. This sort of technique is pretty common in chemistry and heat transfer problems, but I more often use MS Excel since I can type much faster that way. I think it would be a good idea if done by someone who includes propogation of error due to instruments. Alchemy |

Maybe I looked at this too quickly but aren't you just looking at linearity not accuracy. Over that small of a range I would expect that kind of linearity.
But, I'm probably off in left field somewhere. |

![]() ![]() The data suggests a linear relationship betwwen the measured quantities. However it is dangerous to extrapolate. Gives no information on the relation between "Degrees Geek" and "Degrees Centigrade", or the accuracy of the Wattage calculations. Is useless for calibration purposes. |
