The Mathematica (Version 4.1) notebook NIST_2DTA.nb is designed to predict Differential Thermal Analysis Curves for a user-specified sample enthalpy - temperature relation and for a user-specified set of instrument parameters. Its primary use is to provide DTA users with information on what to expect from DTA curves under known conditions so that real DTA data can be more easily interpreted. The notebook follows the model developed by W.J. Boettinger and U. R. Kattner (Metall. and Mater. Trans. A, Vol. 33A, No. 6, (2002) pp. 1779)     

To execute this notebook, you should have at least one of two examples of enthalpy-temperature data files, udimet700_Lever.txt and/or udimet700_Scheil.txt. Two enthalpy files are available for Scheil and lever solidification of UDIMET 700.   The calculations were carried out with the NIST solidification programs and Thermotech's Ni-Data database (www.thermotech.co.uk/databases.html).

Before downloading, create a directory with the name 'NIST_DTA' in your home directory or modify the argument of the SetDirectory command in the notebook accordingly. In case there are difficulties reading this notebook, try MathReader from www.wolfram.com or check our simulation example.
