    The document discusses adiabatic flame temperature, which is the maximum temperature that can be reached during combustion under adiabatic conditions without work or changes in kinetic/potential energy. It states that the highest adiabatic flame temperature is achieved with a stoichiometric fuel-air mixture. The temperature can be controlled by adjusting the amount of excess air used, with more excess air leading to lower temperatures. An example problem is also provided to calculate adiabatic flame temperatures for different amounts of theoretical air used during propane combustion.

    13.6 Adiabatic flame temperature
    Outlet temperature of combustion that takes place
    • adiabatically
    • with no work
    • with no changes in kinetic or potential energy

    For a given fuel, pressure and temperature of the


    reactants, the maximum adiabatic flame temperature
    that can be achieved is with a stoichiometric mixture.

    The adiabatic flame temperature can be controlled by the


    amount of excess air that is used.

    Thus, the outlet temperature where Q = 0 and W = 0:

    13.5 Enthalpy of Combustion
    Class Example:
    Propane gas is burned with air (at
    reference state) during a steady-flow
    combustion process. Determine the
    adiabatic flame temperature for
    a) 100% theoretical air
    b) 300% theoretical air
    c) 95% theoretical air
