Description
No gases escape during the reaction because the bomb, along with
the known mass of the sample, and the oxygen, form a closed system.
The weighed sample is then ignited within the steel container. The
combustion releases energy, and the heat from this heats through
the stainless steel wall, boosting the temperature of the steel
bomb, its contents, and the nearby water-filled bomb calorimeter
vessel. The water\'s temperature change is then precisely measured.
The energy released by the sample burn is calculated using this
reading and a bomb factor.
An example of a constant-volume calorimeter used to gauge the heat
of combustion in a specific reaction is the bomb calorimeter. The
calorific value of coal and other types of solid and liquid fuels
is measured using a bomb calorimeter. Universities, research
facilities, the animal feed industry, food quality, and coal\'s
gross calorific value all employ bomb calimeters extensively. The
isothermal, dynamic, and adiabatic types of oxygen bomb
calorimeters are available from Manual to Fully Automatic models
from DDS Calorimeter.
A bomb calorimeter is used in a variety of fields to quantify the
amount of heat energy released or absorbed in different
samples.
• Heat powders and explosives
• Instruction in fundamental thermodynamic principles;
• Research on energy balances in ecology;
• Rocket fuels and related propellants;
• Thermodynamic investigations of flammable materials;
Since we get along well with our suppliers, we never run out of the
raw materials needed to make the lab equipment and instruments we
sell. We employ aluminium, borosilicate glass, mild steel, teflon,
stainless steel, and quartz glass.
