An acquaintance asks the following:

"A quiz site I help with has calorimeter defined as'an instrument
that measures the heat transfer of a reaction'. Can this definition
be improved?"

Comments?

What "reaction" is responsible for thermal energy released in a wire (carrying an electric current) inside a calorimeter?
