The following is the general calculation for flame temperature based on the calculation procedure in the example on the previous
sheet. The input section contains a dropdown list that refers to the table of fuel properties to the right of it. The VBA macro looks for
data in the input range so do not change data locations in the input range (surrounded by red). If formatting is necessary, copy and
paste special (formats and values) to another sheet and format the copied data. Input data in yellow shaded fields and click on the
button below to run the combustion calculation macro.
