  2. Calorimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calorimeter

    A reaction calorimeter is a calorimeter in which a chemical reaction is initiated within a closed insulated container. Reaction heats are measured and the total heat is obtained by integrating heat flow versus time. This is the standard used in industry to measure heats since industrial processes are engineered to run at constant temperatures.

  3. Heat of combustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_of_combustion

    The higher heating value is experimentally determined in a bomb calorimeter. The combustion of a stoichiometric mixture of fuel and oxidizer (e.g. two moles of hydrogen and one mole of oxygen) in a steel container at 25 °C (77 °F) is initiated by an ignition device and the reactions allowed to complete.

  4. Calorimetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calorimetry

    Calorimetry requires that a reference material that changes temperature have known definite thermal constitutive properties. The classical rule, recognized by Clausius and Kelvin, is that the pressure exerted by the calorimetric material is fully and rapidly determined solely by its temperature and volume; this rule is for changes that do not involve phase change, such as melting of ice.

  5. Coal analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal_analysis

    Aside from physical or chemical analyses to determine the handling and pollutant profile of a coal, the energy output of a coal is determined using a bomb calorimeter which measures the specific energy output of a coal during complete combustion. This is required particularly for coals used in steam generation.

  6. Reaction calorimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_calorimeter

    A reaction calorimeter is a calorimeter that measures the amount of energy released (in exothermic reactions) or absorbed (in endothermic reactions) by a chemical reaction. It does this by measuring the total change in temperature of an exact amount of water in a vessel.

  7. Cone calorimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone_calorimeter

    Cone calorimeter stage while in use. Note that thermoplastic walls surround the apparatus, providing safe separation between the flame and the scientist. A cone calorimeter is an instrument used to study the behavior of fire in small samples of condensed phase materials.

  8. Thermochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermochemistry

    The world's first ice-calorimeter, used in the winter of 1782–83, by Antoine Lavoisier and Pierre-Simon Laplace, to determine the heat evolved in various chemical changes; calculations which were based on Joseph Black's prior discovery of latent heat. These experiments mark the foundation of thermochemistry.

  9. List of measuring instruments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_measuring_instruments

    Constant-temperature calorimeter, phase change calorimeter for example an ice calorimeter or any other calorimeter observing a phase change or using a gauged phase change for heat measurement. Constant-volume calorimeter, also called bomb calorimeter; Constant-pressure calorimeter, enthalpy-meter, or coffee cup calorimeter
