The maximum adiabatic flame temperature in air as compared to that in pure oxygen is_______________?
Correct answer: A. Much lower
- A. Much lower
- B. Much higher
- C. Same
- D. Either lower or higher, depends on the type of fuel
Explanation
Air contains a large amount of nitrogen that absorbs heat without supporting combustion, so the adiabatic flame temperature is much lower than with pure oxygen.
