Topic: Thermodynamics
The temperature of the products of combustion when the maximum amount of chemical energy is converted to thermal energy is
- A. Higher than adiabatic flame temperature
- B. Lower than adiabatic flame temperature
- C. Equal to adiabatic flame temperature
- D. Independent of adiabatic flame temperature
Answer: C. Equal to adiabatic flame temperature
Explanation: The adiabatic flame temperature is the maximum possible temperature achieved for a given fuel and oxidizer, which occurs when the combustion is complete (stoichiometric) and there are no heat losses.
