A model is presented which describes the heat transfer between the subsystems of a DSC plate transducer. For the modeling, the DSC plate transducer is divided into seven subsystems with locally uniform temperature. The simulation program for the solution of the model equations is based on the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method. Appropriate planning of the experiments can be derived as a result. Thus, the expense of the preliminary experiments can be reduced. In addition, the model allows the measured results to be interpreted more easily.
