Any of various devices used to measure thermal properties such as calorific value, heat capacity, latent heat, etc. Seebomb calorimeter.
Chemistry
Any of various devices used to measure thermal properties, such as calorific values or heats of chemical reactions. See alsobomb calorimeter.
Chemical Engineering
A device used to measure the quantity of heat produced by combustion. It consists of a chamber in which a specimen or sample is placed and is surrounded by an outer chamber containing water. Following combustion of the sample, the temperature change in the outer chamber is measured and the heat produced or transferred is calculated. Seebomb calorimeter.
Biology
Any of various devices used to measure thermal properties, such as calorific value. Seebomb calorimeter.
