StringJunky Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) If you add pressurized air through the air hole on a Bunsen burner will it make it burn hotter? Once you supply sufficient air to a certain flow of gas that's hot as it will go so you need to increase the fuel rate to match the increased air supply.

StringJunky Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 That's ok. There will be a top limit to how hot it can go and you'd have to use a hotter burning type of gas to get hotter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cuthber Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 There is a way to get a hotter flame- preheat the air and gas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_hearth_furnace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
