The maximum adiabatic flame temperature of fuels 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 contains nitrogen that dilutes the reactants and absorbs heat without contributing to combustion, reducing the flame temperature. Pure oxygen therefore permits a higher adiabatic flame temperature than air.
