  2. Adiabatic flame temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adiabatic_flame_temperature

    The constant volume adiabatic flame temperature is the temperature that results from a complete combustion process that occurs without any work, heat transfer or changes in kinetic or potential energy. Its temperature is higher than in the constant pressure process because no energy is utilized to change the volume of the system (i.e., generate ...

  3. Liquefied petroleum gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquefied_petroleum_gas

    LPG is composed mainly of propane and butane, while natural gas is composed of the lighter methane and ethane. LPG, vaporised and at atmospheric pressure, has a higher calorific value (46 MJ/m 3 equivalent to 12.8 kWh/m 3 ) than natural gas (methane) (38 MJ/m 3 equivalent to 10.6 kWh/m 3 ), which means that LPG cannot simply be substituted for ...

    In all, the higher heating value of hydrogen is 18.2% above its lower heating value (142 MJ/kg vs. 120 MJ/kg). For hydrocarbons, the difference depends on the hydrogen content of the fuel. For gasoline and diesel the higher heating value exceeds the lower heating value by about 10% and 7%, respectively, and for natural gas about 11%.

  5. Butane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butane

    The density of butane is highly dependent on temperature and pressure in the reservoir. [19] For example, the density of liquid butane is 571.8±1 kg/m 3 (for pressures up to 2 MPa and temperature 27±0.2 °C), while the density of liquid butane is 625.5±0.7 kg/m 3 (for pressures up to 2 MPa and temperature −13±0.2 °C).

  6. Oxy-fuel welding and cutting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxy-fuel_welding_and_cutting

    Butane, like propane, is a saturated hydrocarbon. Butane and propane do not react with each other and are regularly mixed. Butane boils at 0.6 °C. Propane is more volatile, with a boiling point of -42 °C. Vaporization is rapid at temperatures above the boiling points. The calorific (heat) values of the two are almost equal.

  7. Combustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combustion

    The flames caused as a result of a fuel undergoing combustion (burning) Air pollution abatement equipment provides combustion control for industrial processes.. Combustion, or burning, [1] is a high-temperature exothermic redox chemical reaction between a fuel (the reductant) and an oxidant, usually atmospheric oxygen, that produces oxidized, often gaseous products, in a mixture termed as smoke.

  8. Flame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flame

    Temperature of atmosphere links to adiabatic flame temperature (i.e., heat will transfer to a cooler atmosphere more quickly) How stoichiometric the combustion process is (a 1:1 stoichiometricity) assuming no dissociation will have the highest flame temperature; excess air/oxygen will lower it as will lack of air/oxygen

    Propane burner used with forced air into a metal melting furnace. Propane burner with a Bunsen flame Oxy-Acetylene for cutting through steel rails Flame of a gas and oil, in a dual burner A gas burner is a device that produces a non-controlled flame by mixing a fuel gas such as acetylene , natural gas , or propane with an oxidizer such as the ...
