During combustion of gaseous fuels, deficiency of air_________________?

Correct answer: A. Lengthens the flame

  • A. Lengthens the flame
  • B. Tends to shorten the flame
  • C. Does not affect the flame length
  • D. Increases the flame temperature

Explanation

A deficiency of air causes incomplete mixing and combustion, so the flame generally becomes longer and more luminous. Increasing flame temperature would require better, not deficient, combustion conditions.
