This document provides an overview of bomb calorimetry, which measures the heat of combustion (calorific value) of fuels and other combustible materials. A bomb calorimeter consists of an oxygen bomb where samples are burned at high pressure, a bucket of water to absorb the heat of combustion, and a jacket that controls heat transfer. The heat released is calculated based on the temperature change measured in the bucket. Corrections are made to account for heat transfer and side reactions from the combustion process. The document outlines the components and functioning of bomb calorimeters, as well as terminology, standards, and safety considerations for bomb calorimetry experiments.
