The energy put into a Bunsen burner is chemical energy and when it is mixed with oxygen and fire creates a blue flame. Waste energies are sound and light!
If you wanted the yellow flame that is also a chemical reaction when mixed with a much smaller amount of oxygen and fire. Its wastes are the same as above!
Hope that helps.

A Bunsen burner typically uses natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as a fuel source to produce a flame for heating purposes in laboratories or other settings.

When coal is placed into a burner, chemical energy stored in the coal is converted into thermal energy through the process of combustion. This thermal energy then heats up the surrounding materials in the burner to produce heat or steam for various applications.
The energy changes in a Bunsen burner involve the conversion of chemical energy in the fuel (such as natural gas or propane) into heat energy through combustion. This heat energy is then transferred to the surroundings as thermal energy when the flame is used for applications like heating or sterilization.
The Bunsen burner is left at the safety flame when not in use to prevent accidents and ensure safety in the laboratory. The safety flame is a small, blue flame that is less likely to cause a fire if it accidentally comes into contact with flammable materials.
Depending on what is being heated. If its a liquid that isn't combustable (ie. water) its safe just to heat it using a bunsun burner. However if its something lik ethanol that will combust your better using a water bath. If your wanting a set temperature for a solution to be heated at then use an electronic water bath. If you want to get realy fancy use a heated cermic surface. This have like a magnetic stirrer with it as well and you set the temperature.
There are different kinds of burners for various applications. Some common types include gas burners for cooking stoves, oil burners for heating systems, and industrial burners used in processes like refining and manufacturing. Each type of burner is designed to achieve efficient combustion of its specific fuel source.
