Bomb Calorimeter 2D: Heat of Combustion Cross-Section

This is the 2D cross-section companion to the 3D bomb-calorimeter simulator. A weighed sample sits sealed in a steel bomb inside a stirred water bath, rendered here as a flat side-view slice: a scattered field of water-molecule dots whose color and jitter track their kinetic energy, a thermometer column at the side, and the bomb itself flashing with combustion sparks on ignition. Choose a substance and its mass, set the water mass and the calorimeter's own heat capacity, then ignite — the sample burns, heat diffuses into the bath following the calorimeter's heat-capacity equation, and the thermometer column and live readouts climb toward the equilibrium temperature rise ΔT. The measured heat of combustion is then back-calculated from C_total and ΔT exactly the way a real lab report would, closing the loop between the governing formula and what you watched happen in the cross-section.
