Heat Evolved by Setting Cements

Description

Experiment on the heat evolved in the setting of each of 13 cements.

Usage

data(cement)

Format

x1, x2, x3, x4

Proportions (%) of active ingredients

y

heat evolved in cals/gm

Details

13 samples of Portland cement were set. For each sample, the percentages of the four main chemical ingredients was accurately measured. While the cement was setting the amount of heat evolved was also measured.
