Differential Thermal Analysis

Source

Differential thermal analysis (DTA) is an instrumental technique used for studying the physical and chemical changes that occur in materials as they are heated or cooled. When a material undergoes a physical change, such as melting or crystalline transformation, or when a chemical reaction occurs, energy is either absorbed or given up. If energy is absorbed the temperature of the material increases. If energy is liberated the temperature decreases.
