- Abstract
- 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 cyanoren-aig 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 temperature and show the largest change as the pressure is raised.
