In a typical experiment the temperature change is limited to a few degrees and<br />

hence the specific heat may be assumed to be a constant. Under this<br />

assumption Equation 12 may be replaced by<br />

Figure 13 Bomb calorimeter schematic<br />

Schematic of a bomb calorimeter used for the determination of heating value<br />

(standard enthalpy of combustion) of a solid fuel is shown in Figure 13. The<br />

bomb is a heavy walled pressure vessel within which the combustion reaction will<br />

take place at constant volume. At the bottom of the bomb is placed sufficient
