Bomb Measure Biomass Calorimeter Dry Material Weighed Burnt

Biomass is measured by burning dry material in a bomb calorimeter, with the heat released raising the temperature of surrounding water; the unit is KJ Kg⁻¹.

Biomasa se măsoară prin arderea materialului uscat într-un calorimetru bombă, iar căldura eliberată crește temperatura apei din jur, unitatea fiind KJ Kg⁻¹.
