The simple and perhaps ideal calibration in these sorts of experiments is to have a second heat source of some few or few tens of watts that can be turned on intermittently. If the traces reveal the bumps from the added heat then the system becomes almost perfectly described.

They really need to do a calibration as a comparison.

This guy is not the same as the other group, who got problems with thermocouples, is it? It is a different person at the same institute: China Institute of Atomic Energy, P.O. 275(49), Beijing 102413 (中国原子能科学研究院) The names are similar. The first paper was by Song-Sheng Jiang (蒋崧生) et al., and the second paper is by Zhang Hansheng (张航 ). Zhang acknowledges help from the first guy. - Jed
