Examples of bomb calorimeter in the following topics:
-
- Constant-volume calorimeters, such as bomb calorimeters, are used to measure the heat of combustion of a reaction.
- A bomb calorimeter is a type of constant-volume calorimeter used to measure a particular reaction's heat of combustion.
- Therefore, when running bomb calorimetry experiments, it is necessary to calibrate the calorimeter in order to determine Ccal.
- Since the volume is constant for a bomb calorimeter, there is no pressure-volume work.

-
- A constant-pressure calorimeter measures the change in enthalpy of a reaction at constant pressure.
- A constant-pressure calorimeter measures the change in enthalpy of a reaction occurring in a liquid solution.
- In contrast, a bomb calorimeter's volume is constant, so there is no pressure-volume work and the heat measured relates to the change in internal energy ($\Delta U=q_V$).
- A simple example of a constant-pressure calorimeter is a coffee-cup calorimeter, which is constructed from two nested Styrofoam cups and a lid with two holes, which allows for the insertion of a thermometer and a stirring rod.
- After thermal equilibrium has been established, the final temperature of the water in the calorimeter is 26.0$^\circ$C.
-
- The hydrogen bomb is a nuclear weapon that uses a mixture of fission and fusion to produce a massive explosion.
- This indirectly results in a greatly increased energy yield, i.e., the bomb's "power."
- This type of weapon is referred to as a hydrogen bomb, or H-bomb, because it employs hydrogen fusion.
- The most common bomb design that employs these features is called the Teller-Ulam configuration.
- It should be noted that no hydrogen bomb has ever been used during the course of an actual war.
-
- Atomic bombs are nuclear weapons that use the energetic output of nuclear fission to produce massive explosions.
- Atomic bombs are nuclear weapons that use the energetic output of nuclear fission to produce massive explosions.
- These bombs are in contrast to hydrogen bombs, which use both fission and fusion to power their greater explosive potential.
- These two bombings resulted in the deaths of approximately 200,000 Japanese people—mostly civilians.
- Two methods have been applied to induce the nuclear chain reaction that produces the explosion of an atomic bomb.
-
- This association is based largely on studies of Japanese atomic bomb survivors.
- One example of this connection is shown here for Japanese survivors of the atomic bomb.

- In humans, microcephaly is the only proven malformation, or congenital abnormality, found in the developing human fetuses present during the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings.

- A photograph of an 11-year-old girl, who was 2 kilometers away from the Hiroshima bombing site, recovering from acute radiation syndrome.
-
- Atomic bombs charged with plutonium (actinoid) were used in World War II.
