The formula to calculate the adiabatic flame temperature is:
\[ T_f = T_i + \frac{Q}{c \cdot m} \]
Where:
The adiabatic flame temperature is the temperature that a flame would achieve if no heat were lost to the surroundings. It is an important parameter in combustion processes and is used to determine the efficiency and performance of combustion systems. The adiabatic flame temperature depends on the initial temperature, the heat released during combustion, the specific heat capacity of the fuel, and the mass of the fuel.
Consider an example where:
Using the formula to calculate the Adiabatic Flame Temperature:
\[ T_f = 300 + \frac{50000}{1000 \cdot 2} = 300 + 25 = 325 \text{ K} \]
This means that the adiabatic flame temperature for this example is approximately 325 K.
