What is the difference between these two types of calorimeters? How is it reflected when calculating how much heat is released from any given reaction?

A bomb calorimeter is a more advanced form of a calorimeter. A bomb calorimeter consists of a sealed metal container which is sealed and thus provides constant pressure and volume. It is an isolated system. A normal calorimeter is more simplified and cannot withstand high pressures and volumes. However, it serves the same purpose as a bomb calorimeter.

A normal calorimeter is for constant pressure and a bomb calorimeter is for constant volume.
