Abstract
A high temperature, high-speed adiabatic calorimeter was used to measure the heat content of alloys in the copper-zinc system. These measurements were then used, along with the results of other investigators, in calculating thermodynamic properties of copperzinc alloys. These included: heats of formation of liquid copper-zinc alloys, of alpha, beta, gamma, and epsilon phases at different temperatures, and of delta phase at 900 K (which was not available in literature), and excess entropies of formation for the alpha, beta prime, gamma, epsilon phases and the heat effect for the beta-beta prime transformation.
