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. Electrical energy is used to ignite the fuel; as the fuel is burning, it will heat up the surrounding air, which expands and escapes through a tube that leads the air out of the calorimeter. When the air is escaping through the copper tube it will also heat up the water outside the tube. The temperature of the water allows for calculating the calorie content of the fuel.[ or kilojoules if using those units]

What is the principle of Bunsen calorimeter?
bomb calorimeter is heat combustion
How do you use a calorimeter?
A calorimeter is used to keep heat contained in a single place as the calorimeter absorbs very little heat and the amount it absorbs can easily be calculated. To use the calorimeter heat the liquid you want (or cool) and place it in the calorimeter cup and put that in the calorimeter and place the lid on top and the thermometer in the thermometer's hole. There you go. Simple as that. A calorimeter is used to keep heat contained in a single place as the calorimeter absorbs very little heat and the amount it absorbs can easily be calculated.

Who discovered Calorimeter?
A calorimeter is an instrument that measures the amount of heat involved in a chemical reaction. The first ice-calorimeter was used by Antoine Lavoisier and Pierre-Simon Laplace, in the winter of 1782-83 .
Why is it unnecessary to know the mass of the calorimeter apparatus to determined heat capacity?
Improvised or not, the calorimeter takes up some of the heat released. The mass of the calorimeter container determines the amount of heat taken up
What are the factors that affect a calorimeter?
its temp
What is thre function of a bomb calorimeter?
it burns food and that heats water to give a reading in calories
What is the principle of Bunsen calorimeter?
bomb calorimeter is heat combustion

Can Energy be measured directly with a calorimeter?
Yes energy can be measured directly with a calorimeter. The calorimeter will measure the temperature as it changes in a reaction.
Construction of separating calorimeter for steam quality measurement?
Separating calorimeter advantages
Why 1000c thermometer is used in bomb calorimeter why not 100c?
bcoz of space in the calorimeter....
What are the different types of calorimeters?
Bomb calorimeter and coffee-cup calorimeter. Both useful, however, the bomb calorimeter is better to use if you're measuring deltaH of a gas
In calculating the heat given off by a reaction in a calorimeter you must account for heat absorbed by?
Water and the Calorimeter.
What are the limitations of saparating and throttling calorimeter?
There must be at least 10 degrees of superheat in the calorimeter for accurate results.
What are the differences between simple calorimeter and bomb calorimeter?
bomb calorimeter measures heat transfer at constant while the cup measures at constant pressure.

Where can you get a calorimeter?
Fisher Scientific has them.
