Abstract: We present a thermodynamic comparison of combustion processes for the production of high-temperature gases (2000–3100 °K) from methane. We compare: 1.(1) CH4 O2 mixtures, with oxygen added either in the gaseous or the liquid state,2.(2) CH4-enriched air systems, with enrichment by removal of gaseous nitrogen from air,3.(3) CH4-enriched air systems, with enrichment achieved by adding either pure gaseous or pure liquid oxygen to air, and4.(4) CH4-air electrically augmented systems, in which enriched air is produced in an air-separation plant and electrical augmentation is produced by applying strong electric fields between electrodes immersed in the flame gases. Comparisons involve energy costing.
