The answer is calorimeter. The amount of heat released or absorbed in the system inside the calorimeter can be measured since the calorimeter is insulated. Measuring the mass and the change in temperature of the system, and knowing the specific heat of the materials, we can then measure the heat transfer that is equal to the enthalpy of the reaction.
