What is a Bomb Calorimeter?

The calorimeter determines the amount of heat liberated by a sample when it is completely burned. A calorimeter is an apparatus for measuring the quantity of heat energy released or absorbed during a process. The emitted heat increases the temperature of the water surrounding the bomb by combusting the fuel. The total heat of the fuel is determined by the increase in temperature and the mass of the fuel.
A bomb calorimeter is an instrument used to measure the heat of reaction at a fixed volume, and the measured heat is called the change in internal energy (ΔE).
Historically, burning a sample enclosed in a high-pressure oxygen environment is known as Oxygen Bomb Calorimetry, and the vessel containing the sample is known as an Oxygen Bomb. The terms “bomb” and “vessel” are used interchangeably.

Uses of Bomb Calorimeter

Bomb Calorimeter is an apparatus primarily used for measuring heats of combustion. The reaction takes place in a closed space known as the calorimeter proper, in controlled thermal contact with its surroundings, the jacket, at a constant temperature.
A bomb calorimeter measures the quantity of heat energy released or absorbed by various samples and is employed in various fields, including:
Coal and coke (all varieties and types)
Fuel oil (both heavy and light varieties)
Gasoline (all motor fuels and aviation types, including jet fuels, all varieties)
Combustible wastes and refuse disposal
Foodstuffs and supplements for human nutrition
Forage crops and supplements for animal nutrition
Building materials
Explosives and heat powders
Rocket fuels and related propellants
Thermodynamic studies of combustible materials
Energy balance studies in ecology
Instruction in basic thermodynamic methods
