Inconsistency: combustion temperature given as 6,000 °F, 3,300 °C, and 3,600 K — all three are mutually inconsistent
The "Cooling" section states combustion temperatures are "6,000 °F (3,300 °C; 3,600 K)". These three values are presented as equivalent but are mutually inconsistent.
Verification:
Converting 3,300 °C to Kelvin: 3,300 + 273.15 = 3,573 K — the article states 3,600 K (off by 27 K).
Converting 3,600 K to Celsius: 3,600 − 273.15 = 3,326.85 °C ≈ 3,327 °C — the article states 3,300 °C (off by 27°C).
Converting 6,000 °F to Celsius: (6,000 − 32) × 5/9 = 3,315.6 °C — the article states 3,300 °C (off by 15.6°C).
The consistent triplet for 3,300 °C would be: 5,972 °F / 3,300 °C / 3,573 K. The consistent triplet for 3,600 K would be: 6,021 °F / 3,327 °C / 3,600 K.
As written, none of the three stated values are consistent with either of the other two.
