A bomb calorimeter, or constant volume calorimeter, is a device often used to determine the heat of combustion of fuels and the energy available from foods. Since the "bomb" itself can absorb energy, a separate experiment is needed to determine the heat capacity of the calorimeter. This is known as calibrating the calorimeter.
