Which calorimeter is used to find calorific values of gaseous fuels?(a) Bomb calorimeter(b) Junker calorimeter(c) Adiabatic calorimeter(d) Isothermal titration calorimeterThe question was asked in class test.This is a very interesting question from Calorific Value of Fuels topic in chapter Steam Power Plant of Energy Engineering

Answer»

Right choice is (b) JUNKER calorimeter

Best explanation: The calorific values of gaseous fuel are defined as the amount of heat liberated by complete combustion of UNIT volume of fuel. SI unit is KJ/m^3. This calorimeter works on PRINCIPLE of burning of a known volume of gas an imparting the heat with maximum efficiency to steadily flowing water and FINDING out the rise in temperature of a MEASURED volume of water.
