what is the highest temperature jet fuel can burn at in ferhenheit degrees ?

Answer 1

825 degrees centigrade in air in ideal conditions.
F=9/5*C + 32, so
1517F.

edit: Wikipedia says open air burning temp is 260C-315C, maximum is 980C.

You can use the formula above to convert to F.

Answer 2

Under varying conditions, it's in the neighborhood of 1600-2500 degrees F.

There are many factors that will increase or decrease these figures. The "highest temperatures" would be achieved by increasing the oxygen available for combustion.

It has been estimated that the World Trade Center fires were approximately 2000 degrees F.

If you search the Internet trying to find the answer to this question, you will run into every conceivable nut bag out there who is trying to convince you that the World Trade Centers couldn't have fallen due to the planes.

Why is it so hard to grasp that when a 500,000 lb. jetliner rams into a building at 500 mph with 10,000 gallons of fuel on board, the building might have a tendency to collapse?? Duh.....

Answer 3

The temperature you are looking for is termed the adiabatic flame temperature. For hydrocarbons (including jet fuel) burning in air this is about 3500 F. Burning in oxygen can yield around 4500 F. The difference is that air contains a lot of nitrogen that must be heated along with the combustion products whic reduces the temperature.

Answer 4

if you add pressurized oxygen it can get over 2000 degrees. plenty hot enough to melt the steel girders of the world trade center.

Answer 5

the max temperature is affected by many factors, therefore making this a very vague question

Answer 6

hotter then nuclear fission haha
