Abstract: A set of vapor-flow calorimeter has been constructed on the basis of Power's adiabatic calorimeter and Clarke s flash boiler. It can determine the heat capacities of mono-or multi-component vapors from vaporizing temperature to 600 K and 10—600 kPa pressures. For the calibration of the instrument, the heat capacities of benzene have been measured under 51.1, 101.3, 309.3 and 495.2 kPa and 370—600 K tempera-tures. For multicomponent vapor, benzene-cyclohexane has been determined. The results showed that the calorimeter has both the precision and accuracy better than 1.0% for either pure or mixtural vapors.

Key words: Heat capacity of vapors, Flow calorimeter, Flash boiler, Benzene, Benzene-cyclohexane
