Adiabatic flame temperature

In the study of combustion, there are two types of adiabatic flame temperature depending on how the process is completed: the constant volume and constant pressure. The constant volume adiabatic flame temperature is the temperature that results from a complete combustion process that occurs without any work, heat transfer or changes in kinetic or potential energy. Its temperature is higher than the constant pressure process because no energy is utilized to change the volume of the system (i.e., generate work).
