  1. 2142-391 Engineering Mechanical Laboratory Heating Value Measurement

  2. Motivation • Valuable fuels are being depleted • Different kinds of energy source, e.g. gasoline, diesel, biodiesel, gasohol, etc. • Different fuels give different amount of energy • Which one gives more energy per unit • Heating value

  3. Objectives • To determine the HV of fuel • To investigate the temp-time relationship of the thermal system • To study the effect of the vapor amount inside the bomb on the HV • etc.

  4. Bomb calorimeter thermometer insulated jacket stirrer bucket filled with water bomb

  5. Bomb (crucible + sample fuel)

  6. Principles of the Experiment • Fuel combustion occurs in very short period • Heat energy transfer from the combustion to • surrounding water • Measure the output energy via the slow increase • in water temperature
