Calorimeter
01
a device used to measure the heat released or absorbed during a chemical reaction or physical change, typically by measuring temperature changes in a surrounding medium
Example
Chemists use a calorimeter to determine the heat of combustion of a substance by measuring the temperature change in water surrounding a reaction vessel.
Food scientists employ a calorimeter to measure the caloric content of food items by burning them and measuring the resulting heat.
Physicists utilize calorimeters in particle detectors to measure the energy of particles produced in high-energy collisions.
