Determine the energy content of refuse derived fuel (RDF) if a 10 g sample is placed into a bomb calorimeter that holds 5 L of water.
A bomb calorimeter is a device used to determine the heat energy value of materials when they are combusted. Typically, a sample is place into a stainless steel ball, to which oxygen under high pressure is added. The bomb is placed into an adiabatic water bath, so that heat cannot be transferred to the surroundings. … Read more
