- Calorimeters are devices that are commonly used to measure the heating value of fuels. For example, a Junkers flow calorimeter is used to measure the heating value of gaseous fuels. A bomb calorimeter, on the other hand, is used to measure the heating value of liquid or solid fuels, such as kerosene, heating oil, or coal. Perform a search to obtain information about these two types of calorimeters. Write a brief report discussing the principles behind the operation of these calorimeters.arrow_forwardPlease answer it in 30 mins. show solutions step by step with unitsarrow_forwardsolve a,b, c and d please.
