If the specific heat of gaseous products of combustion of a fuel is high, the abiabatic flame temperature will be_____________?
Correct answer: A. Low
- A. Low
- B. High
- C. Very high, if the fuel is of low calorific value
- D. None of these
Explanation
A higher heat capacity allows the combustion products to absorb more heat for the same energy release, so their temperature rises less. Hence, the adiabatic flame temperature is lower.
