ADIABATIC FLAME TEMPERATURES, COMBUSTION GAS COMPOSITIONS, AND EXPANSION RATIOS OF COMBUSTIBLE GAS MIXTURES AT VARIOUS PRESSURES

摘要

This paper contains calculations of adiabatic flame temperature, expansion ratio, and combustion gas composition expressed in partial pressures for hydrogen-oxygen, hydrogen-air, hydrogen - nitric oxide, carbon monoxide - oxygen, carbon monoxide - air, methane-oxygen, methane-air, ammonia-oxygen, ammonia-air, hydrogen-bromine, and. cyanogen-air mixtures at pressures from 1 to 90 atmospheres. Flame temperatures and expansion ratios increase at a decreasing rate as the pressure is increased. The oxygen and nitric oxide flames have a high flame temper¬ature and show the largest change as the pressure is raised.
