  2. Introduction • The paper presents a comparison between the methods applied in the data computation when starting from experimental results obtained in accelerated microcalorimetric measurements. • Beside a simple exponential function, usually for an integrative first order system, other two functions are discovered by nonlinear curve fitting algorithms starting from the same experimental data.

  13. Conclusions • The efficiency of the fitting method can not be proved by uncertainty improvement but the changes in the wanted value can change the result of a key comparison. • The chosen computation method in accelerated microcalorimeter measurements it allows to decide the switching time interval and the number of data per every period. • An adaptive automated measuring system can change the switching time in a manner which will lead to an adequate uncertainty. • However, the manly part of the uncertainty is from microcalorimeter calibration step and accelerated measurement not appear as being enough accurately. • In this kind of measurement, the measurement time is never enough long and a good correction can be done by a suitable curve fitting method.
