    A bomb calorimeter and Junkers calorimeter are devices used to measure the calorific value of fuels. A bomb calorimeter measures the calorific value of solid and liquid fuels by igniting a fuel sample in an oxygen atmosphere within a stainless steel container surrounded by water. A Junkers calorimeter similarly measures the heat released but is designed for gaseous fuels by passing the gas through a combustion chamber with surrounding water tubes. Both devices use the temperature change of the water to calculate the heat released and determine the calorific value of the fuel.

    BOMB CALORIMETER

    &
    JUNKERS CALORIMETER
    What’s calorific value?

     The calorific value of a fuel may be defined as the amount


    of heat generated by burning one kg of fuel completely.
     The unit of C.V incase of Solid and Liquid Fuels is kJ/kg
     The unit of C.V incase of Gaseous Fuels is kJ/m3
    What’s a CALORIMETER?

     A calorimeter (from Latin calor,


    meaning heat) is a device used for
    calorimetry, the science of
    measuring the heat of chemical
    reactions or physical changes as well
    as heat capacity.
     In short it is a device used to
    calculate the Calorific Value of Solid ,
    Liquid & Gaseous Fuels.
    Bomb Calorimeter :
     A bomb calorimeter is a type of constant-volume calorimeter used in
    measuring the heat of combustion of a particular reaction.
     The fuel is kept on a crucible supported by ignition rods and fuse
    wires made up of platinum or nichrome.
     Electrical energy is used to ignite the fuel; as the fuel is burning, it
    will heat up the Stainless Steel Container.
     Thus the heat is transferred to the water outside the container. The
    temperature of the water allows for calculating calorie content of the
    fuel.
    Overview :

     Basically, a bomb calorimeter consists of a


    a. Small cup to contain the sample,
    b. Oxygen,
    c. A stainless steel bomb,
    d. Water,
    e. A stirrer,
    f. A thermometer,
    g. The dewar (to prevent heat flow from the calorimeter to the
    surroundings) and ignition circuit connected to the bomb.
    Calculations:
     mf = Mass of fuel sample burnt in the bomb in kg
     H.C.V = Higher Calorific Value of the fuel sample in kJ/kg
     mw =Mass of water filled in calorimeter in kg
     me = Water equivalent of apparatus in kg
     t1 = Initial temperature of water and apparatus in C
     t2 =Final temperature of water and apparatus in C
     We know that heat liberated by fuel = mf x H.C.V
     Heat Absorbed by water and apparatus = (mw + me) cw (t2 - t1)
     Since the heat liberated is equal to the heat absorbed …
     tc = cooling correction
    Junkers calorimeter :

     Similar Principle to that of the Bomb calorimeter

     Junkers Calorimeter used to determine the calorific value


    of GASEOUS fuels while the Bomb Calorimeter is used to
    determine the calorific value of SOLID AND LIQUID fuels.
    Working:
     Gas of particular amount is supplied through the inlet through the
    GAS METER
     Burnt in the combustion chamber
     The heat is then transferred to the water tubes called the flue tubes
     Cold water is supplied through the bottom and Hot water leaves at
    the top.
     The difference in temperatures of the water at two ends is used to
    find the higher calorific value of the gas.
     Calculations are similar to that of the Bomb calorimeter.
