In the study of combustion, the adiabatic flame temperature is the temperature reached by a flame under ideal conditions. It is an upper bound of the temperature that is reached in actual processes.

Adiabatic flame temperatures and pressures as a function of ratio of air to iso-octane. A ratio of 1 corresponds to the stoichiometric ratio
Constant volume flame temperature of a number of fuels, with air
Oxy–fuel welding and oxy–fuel cutting are processes that use fuel gases and oxygen to weld or cut metals. French engineers Edmond Fouché and Charles Picard became the first to develop oxygen-acetylene
