Calculated Thermal Effects of Use of Oxygenated Air

THE first feature that strikes one when considering the use of air enriched with oxygen in pyrochemical processes is the conservation of Enriched Air FIG. 1.-TEMPERATURES THEORETICALLY OBTAINABLE BY BURNING PURE AMOR¬PHOUS CARBON IN AN ATMOSPHERE COMPOSED OF AIR ENRICHED WITH OXYGEN, PRODUCING GAS CONTAINING CO. heat due to the partial elimination of the inert heat-carrier nitrogen, as set forth in the report of the committee. The second feature, which
