Bomb Calorimeter — Heat of Combustion Simulator
Interactive 3D bomb calorimeter: ignite a weighed sample inside a sealed steel bomb submerged in a stirred water bath, watch the water molecules heat up in real time, and read the resulting heat of combustion straight off the thermometer.
This simulator models a real bomb calorimeter: a sealed steel "bomb" holding a weighed sample sits inside a stirred water bath, rendered as an instanced field of water molecules whose color and jitter track their kinetic energy. 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 water.
Ignite a weighed sample inside a sealed steel bomb submerged in a stirred water bath and watch the heat of combustion drive the water temperature — and an instanced field of water molecules — toward equilibrium in real time.
