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.
