Calorific value as determined by bomb calorimeter is the__________________?
Correct answer: B. Higher calorific value at constant volume
- A. Gross calorific value at constant pressure
- B. Higher calorific value at constant volume
- C. Lower calorific value at constant pressure
- D. Net calorific value at constant volume
Explanation
A bomb calorimeter operates at constant volume and condenses the water formed during combustion, so it measures higher or gross calorific value. Lower or net calorific value excludes the latent heat of this condensed water.
