Which of the following has the highest theoretical flame temperature ?

Correct answer: C. Acetylene

  • A. Blast furnace gas
  • B. Hydrogen
  • C. Acetylene
  • D. Coke oven gas

Explanation

Acetylene produces the highest theoretical flame temperature among these fuels because it has a high heating value per unit oxygen requirement and supports a very hot flame. Hydrogen is also a high-temperature fuel, but its theoretical flame temperature is lower under comparable conditions.
