A New Bomb Calorimeter.

A ballistic bomb calorimeter.

The classical methods for determining the calorie value of foodstuffs are both long and tedious, and a number of alternative methods have been suggested for assessing the energy value of foods based on an analysis of the foodstuff and the use of factors with each of the chemical components to give energy content. None of these methods is really satisfactory, and when a high level of accuracy is...

Glucose and Fat Oxidation: Bomb Calorimeter Be Damned

For both respiration and combustion, the energy loss difference between glucose and fat oxidation often is referenced to the efficiency of the fuel. Yet, the addition of anaerobic metabolism with ATP resynthesis to complete respiratory glucose oxidation further contributes to energy loss in the form of entropy changes that are not measured or quantified by calorimetry; combustion and respirator...

The New Smri Nutsch Bomb

The SMRI has developed a new nutsch bomb which has several advantages over existing models. It is lighter, easier to load/clean and separates molasses at a faster rate. Puri-ties of molasses from the SMRI bomb were the same as those from conventional nutsch separators. Introduction The conventional nutsch bomb using a horizontal screen arrangement had proved to be very slow in extracting

Bomb threat--a new hazard in hospitals.

Determination of Uncertainty in Gross Calorific Value of Coal Using Bomb Calorimeter

A bomb calorimeter is an apparatus used for measuring the performance of coal in term of heat of combustion. Recent awareness has been created regarding uncertainty of measurement, due to mainly two reasons. Laboratory accreditation, which has steadily been on the rise, which requires a estimation of uncertainty of measurement particularly in the field of calibration. Second, increased maturity...
