Detailed explanation-1: -The Bomb Calorimeter (Model-IKA C2000) was used to measure the cross calorific value of the solid and liquid samples. It is a constant-volume type calorimeter that measures the heat of a particular reaction or measures the calorific value of the fuels.

Detailed explanation-2: -A bomb calorimeter measures the heat released or absorbed during a combustion reaction, expressed in quantities of calories or Joules. Calories and Joules are units of energy. Therefore, a bomb calorimeter measures the amount of energy (in terms of heat) within a substance.

Detailed explanation-3: -A bomb calorimeter is an instrument used to measure the heat released from combusting a specific amount of biomass sample, and it calculates the HHV of this biomass fuel. In each testing, about one gram of sample fuel is ground and condensed to fit in a capsule for combustion in the bomb.

Detailed explanation-4: -A calorimeter is a piece of equipment designed to measure the energy released or absorbed during a chemical reaction or phase change. Food calorimetry allows us to determine the number of calories per gram of food.
