Six thermal analysis techniques
Thermomicroscopy Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) Thermomechanical analysis (TMA) Differential thermal anyalysis (DTA) Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) Isothermal microcalorimetry (ITM)

DTA provides…
Follow endo (heat absorbed) or exothermic transitions during a chemical process. Provides only qualitative or semiqualitative method mor measuring calorimic data.
Basic set up of DTA?
One heat source for sample and reference
Heat flux DTA
One heat source for sample and reference.
Heat converted to power.
Endothermic
Heat abosorbed.
Temp of sample is less than reference because it is taking in energy to fuel a reaction eg. Melting point transition.
Exothermic reaction
Heat evolved
Temperature of sample cell is higher than that of the reference becuase a sample is giving out energy as a product of a reaction.
