  2. Calorimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calorimeter

    A bomb calorimeter is a type of constant-volume calorimeter used in measuring the heat of combustion of a particular reaction. Bomb calorimeters have to withstand the large pressure within the calorimeter as the reaction is being measured.

  3. Heat of combustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_of_combustion

    Since the heat of combustion of these elements is known, the heating value can be calculated using Dulong's Formula: HHV [kJ/g]= 33.87m C + 122.3(m H - m O ÷ 8) + 9.4m S where m C , m H , m O , m N , and m S are the contents of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur on any (wet, dry or ash free) basis, respectively.

  4. Chemical thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_thermodynamics

    The change in internal energy is equal to the heat change if it is measured under conditions of constant volume (at STP condition), as in a closed rigid container such as a bomb calorimeter. However, at constant pressure, as in reactions in vessels open to the atmosphere, the measured heat is usually not equal to the internal energy change ...

  5. 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.

  6. Calorimeter constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calorimeter_constant

    A calorimeter constant (denoted C cal) is a constant that quantifies the heat capacity of a calorimeter. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It may be calculated by applying a known amount of heat to the calorimeter and measuring the calorimeter's corresponding change in temperature .

  7. Thermodynamic system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_system

    One example is fluid being compressed by a piston in a cylinder. Another example of a closed system is a bomb calorimeter, a type of constant-volume calorimeter used in measuring the heat of combustion of a particular reaction. Electrical energy travels across the boundary to produce a spark between the electrodes and initiates combustion.

  8. Reaction calorimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_calorimeter

    An example of a Co-Flux Calorimeter. Constant flux calorimetry is an advanced temperature control mechanism used to generate accurate calorimetry. It operates by controlling the jacket area of a laboratory reactor while maintaining a constant inlet temperature of the thermal fluid. This method allows for precise temperature control, even during ...

  9. Exothermic reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exothermic_reaction

    The enthalpy change ΔH for a reaction is equal to the heat q transferred out of (or into) a closed system at constant pressure without in- or output of electrical energy. Heat production or absorption in a chemical reaction is measured using calorimetry, e.g. with a bomb calorimeter.
