2. Adiabatic flame temperature - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adiabatic_flame_temperature

   Propane Iso-Octane (2,2,4-Trimethylpentane) In daily life, the vast majority of flames one encounters are those caused by rapid oxidation of hydrocarbons in materials such as wood, wax, fat, plastics, propane, and gasoline. The constant-pressure adiabatic flame temperature of such substances in air is in a relatively narrow range around 1,950 ...

3. Butane - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butane

   When oxygen is plentiful, butane undergoes complete combustion to form carbon dioxide and water vapor; when oxygen is limited, due to incomplete combustion, carbon or carbon monoxide may be formed instead of carbon dioxide. Butane is denser than air. When there is sufficient oxygen: 2 C 4 H 10 + 13 O 2 → 8 CO 2 + 10 H 2 O. When oxygen is limited:

4. Propane - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propane

   Propane does not burn as hot as acetylene in its inner cone, and so it is rarely used for welding. Propane, however, has a very high number of BTUs per cubic foot in its outer cone, and so with the right torch (injector style) it can make a faster and cleaner cut than acetylene, and is much more useful for heating and bending than acetylene.

5. Flame - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flame

   Flames of charcoal. A flame (from Latin flamma) is the visible, gaseous part of a fire.It is caused by a highly exothermic chemical reaction made in a thin zone. [1] When flames are hot enough to have ionized gaseous components of sufficient density, they are then considered plasma.

8. 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 ...

9. Liquid fuel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_fuel

   LP gas is a mixture of propane and butane, both of which are easily compressible gases under standard atmospheric conditions. It offers many of the advantages of compressed natural gas (CNG), but does not burn as cleanly, is denser than air and is much more easily compressed.
