1. Description of the technique
1917 – Thornton shows that there is a proportionality between the molar heat of combustion and the quantity of oxygen consumed during the complete combustion of a compound .
1968 – Hinkley et al. use oxygen content and flue gas flow to calculate the burning rate of cellulosic panels .
