Which calorimeter is used to find calorific values of solid and liquid fuels?(a) Boy’s calorimeter(b) Bomb calorimeter(c) Junker’s calorimeter(d) Calvet-type calorimeterThis question was addressed to me by my school principal while I was bunking the class.I want to ask this question from Calorific Value of Fuels in section Steam Power Plant of Energy Engineering

Answer»

Right answer is (b) Bomb CALORIMETER

Best explanation: The calorific VALUE of solid of solid and liquid FUEL is defined as the amount of heat liberated by complete combustion of UNIT mass of fuel. In SI unit s it is expressed in kJ/kg. A bomb calorimeter is a type of constant VOLUME calorimeter used in measuring heat of combustion of particular reaction. Bomb calorimeters have to withstand the large pressure within the calorimeter as the reaction is being measured.
