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.
