Leveraging the principles of chemical thermodynamics and equilibrium, the adiabatic flame temperature for various fuels is calculated. This temperature differs across fuel types, but for many standard combustible gas mixtures, it hovers around 2500 Kelvin.
Fuel Name | Fuel Concentration (%) | Flame Temperature (K) |
---|---|---|
Methane | T1 | T2 |
Ethylene | T>450 | 450≥T>300 |
Acetylene | Methane | |
Propane | Ethane, Propane, Acetone, Phenethyl, Ene, Aminobenzene, Toluene, Benzene, Ammonia, Carbon Monoxide, Ethyl Acetate, Acetic Acid | Butane, Ethanol, Propylene, Butanol, Acetic Acid, Butyl Ester, Amyl Acetate Acetic Anhydride |
Butadiene | Propylene, Acetylene, Cyclopropane, Coke Oven Gas | Epoxy Z-Alkane, Epoxy Propane, Butadiene, Ethylene |
