The maximum adiabatic flame temperature in air is _____________ the maximum flame temperature in pure oxygen?
Correct answer: A. Lower than
- A. Lower than
- B. Higher than
- C. Same as
- D. Not related to
Explanation
Air gives a lower adiabatic flame temperature than pure oxygen because its nitrogen acts as inert ballast, absorbing heat and diluting the combustion products. Pure oxygen therefore permits a higher flame temperature under comparable conditions.
