Chemical Engineering - Fuels and Combustion

21.
Pick out the wrong statement.
Theoretical flame temperature is the temperature attained by the products of combustion, when the fuel is burned without loss or gain of heat.
Burning the fuel with theoretically required amount of pure oxygen results in attainment of maximum adiabatic flame temperature.
Burning the fuel with excess pure oxygen results in maximum theoretical flame temperature.
Adiabatic flame temperatures of actual combustions are always less than the maximum values.
