Abstract
The occurrence, manufacture, and utilization of commercial butane is discussed. It is compared with other gaseous fuels in respect to (1) theoretical thermal efficiency, (2) volume of products of combustion, (3) theoretical flame temperature, (4) rate of flame propagation, (5) specific gravity, (6) resulting quality of ware, and (7) cost per unit of available heat. Results of actual tests on an open-fire McDougal tunnel kiln using butane, in which these properties were considered, indicated that it is possible to substitute butane for coal-gas fuel with only minor adjustments in kiln, burner, or accessory equipment.
