The "'constant pressure adiabatic flame temperature "'is the temperature that results from a complete combustion process that occurs without any heat transfer or changes in kinetic or potential energy.

If we make the assumption that combustion goes to completion ( i . e . CO _ 2 and H _ 2O ), we can calculate the adiabatic flame temperature by hand either at stoichiometric conditions or lean of stoichiometry ( excess air ).

The constant-pressure adiabatic flame temperature of such substances in air is in a relatively narrow range around 1950 �C . This is because, in terms of stoichiometry, the combustion of an organic compound with " n " carbons involves breaking roughly 2 " n"

The glass industry has been converting to oxy-fuel since the early 1990s because glass furnaces require a temperature of approximately 2800 degrees F, which is not attainable at adiabatic flame temperatures for air-fuel combustion unless heat is regenerated between the flue stream and the incoming air stream.
