What is a meeker burner?
A meeker burner is like a Bunsen burner in the fact that it uses propane as a fuel source, but there are many differences. A meeker burner burns hotter then a Bunsen burner and it also has a grid over the flame that causes the flame and heat to vibrate as the propane burns.
What is the 6 parts of Bunsen burner?
BarrelThe barrel of a Bunsen burner is a metal tube that screws onto the base of the burner, with small holes called air intake openings in the bottom that let air into the barrel. As outlined by the Eastern Illinois University's Equipment Guide when a Bunsen burner is operational, natural gas draws air into the barrel as it passes the air intake openings--the mixture of air and gas is ignited at the top end of the barrel.CollarThe collar of a Bunsen burner is located around the air holes on the bottom of the barrel. The collar's function is to increase or decrease the amount of air going into the barrel; this is done through a screw mechanism. The typical action is three full counterclockwise turns for the maximum air intake and clockwise turns to close, or lower, the air intake.Gas Flow ValveThe gas flow valve of a Bunsen burner is attached to the base, directly underneath where the barrel screws on. The gas flow valve is responsible for letting gas into the barrel and can be adjusted in a similar manner to the collar--three counterclockwise turns for full gas, and clockwise turns for lesser gas or to turn the burner off completely.Gas Intake TubeThe gas intake tube is attached to the base and extends to the gas flow valve. The intake tube is corrugated and tapers at the end. This is so that an air-tight fit can be achieved with the gas pipe that is attached to the gas intake tube, making sure that there is no leakage of gas.BaseTypically, the base of a Bunsen burner is hexagonal (has six sides) and is usually 1 inch or less wide. A base has upward-slanting metal fixings on two sides that connect just above the gas flow valve and just below the gas intake tube. The base is designed to be heavy and sturdy to minimize incidents of Bunsen burners tipping over.
How does adjusting the barrel on the Bunsen burner affects the flame?
The bottom of a Bunsen burner contains holes that allow air flow. When there is no air flow, the temperature of the flame will be hotter. With the holes wide open, the flame will not be as hot.
What happens when the air hole is wide open in a Bunsen burner?
Flame is stronger since there is no way for the gas to escape but through the top.
What happens if a gas flame gets too much primary air?
For a Bunsen or Fisher burner, if you open the air intake too wide, the flame will become unstable and blow out.
Which is the hottest flame on a Bunsen burner and why?
The roaring blue flame, the collar should be wide open. More air is let through and mixes with the gas to produce a flame about 700 degrees
Why should you leave a Bunsen burner with the air hole closed?
Because if the air hole was wide open, the flame will be blue, which is going to be really hot so you have to leave it at a safety yellow flame which is when the air hole is closed when lit. It could be dangerous to leave a Bunsen burner on a blue flame. this is confusing, explain more clearly, geez is dat too much to ask?
