Near a phase transition the rate of change with temperature of the specific heat and the thermal relaxation time can both become very large with resulting difficulties in the measurement of specific heat by conventional methods. This paper describes a calorimetry method specially adapted to overcome these difficulties, which has proved successful for measurements near the critical point of fluids.
