Abstract

The history of the term inertia is mentioned, and the effect of the heat inertia phenomenon is found in equations derived by Newton and Tian as well as in works of Vold and Borchard and Daniels. The mathematical correction of heat inertia consequences can be portrayed using the both differential and/or integral forms. It has been confirmed by the effective rectification applied to DTA (and heat-flux DSC) responses reflecting well the need of heat inertia corrections as to attain the original shape of inserted rectangular heat pulse.
