the exhaust gas temperature. As the exhaust temperature
increases, more energy is carried out of the combus-
tion system and less remains in the system. The avail-
able heat decreases to zero at the adiabatic equilibrium
ame temperature where no heat is lost from the gases.
Figure 2.17 shows that even at gas temperatures as high
as 3500°F (2200 K), the available heat of an O
