Why does the adiabatic flame temperature peak for an equivalence ratio slightly higher than 1 ? Why is the adiabatic flame temperature at constant volume higher than the one calculated at constant pressure for any given equivalence ratio?
Expert Answer
1). Adiabatic Flame Temperature. The adiabatic flame temperature is one that occurs when the combustion chamber is well insulated with no heat losses (adiabatic conditions). The peak adiabatic flame temperature occurs at around ? = 1 in an ideally in
