Hi all. I am a chemist currently working in an engineer's world. I have been tasked with obtaining the heat capacity of a 600mL pressure vessel that we will be using to conduct an array of experiments on. I have started with a known mass of water. The controller to the reactor is connected to a pc to record data (power output in Watts of the heater, temperature of the vessel contents, and the time at any point that each data point is created). How do I use this data to get the heat capacity of the reactor? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
