An instrument that measures the amount or rate of combustion or the heat produced during burning.
From Latin 'comburere' (to burn) combined with the suffix '-meter' (from Greek 'metron,' meaning measure). This is a scientific instrument term created in modern chemistry to describe precise measurement of burning.
Scientists use comburimeters to understand rocket fuel efficiency and industrial processes—they're essentially 'burning thermometers' that tell us exactly how much heat and energy a fuel releases when it ignites.
