Abstract

The isobaric heat capacity of solid and liquid thorium tetrafluoride was determined by two calorimetry methods: drop calorimetry to obtain the enthalpy increments in the range from 430 to 1600 K and DSC to obtain the high-temperature heat capacity of solid and liquid thorium tetrafluoride using the step method. Adjustments to the experimental setups were developed and implemented to increase accuracy and reduce uncertainty of the obtained data.
