Introduction The method utilized in this study involves the bomb calorimetry, which is an analysis method that is widely used in chemistry to determine the energy of combustion of a sample. The instrument used is a calorimeter, a device which measures gross heat, which is the energy of combustion and enthalpy of formation of the hydrocarbon combusted. The sample in this particular experiment involves used cooking oil, a biodiesel, which is compared against a conventional diesel. According to a publication […]
