                Andrews concludes that the explosive combustion of numerous hydrocarbon-O₂ mixtures under widely differing conditions of incomplete combustion give rise to products that at least approximately conform to the requirements of the water-gas equilibrium with a value of 4 for the thermodynamic constant, and the value is not greatly altered even when large quantities of C are separated or considerable % of CH₄ is found in the ultimate products.
