What does it mean if the flame on a gas water heater is burning yellow?
When a flame on a gas water heater is burning yellow it means that the gas has carbon. It can also mean that the gas has sodium.

What does a blue flame with a yellow tip mean on a natural gas heater?
its heating
What does a yellow flame mean on a gas water heater?
You need a orifice cleaning to remove carbon build up on the flame tube and main burners.
Why is the blue flame hotter than the red flame?
This isn't necessarily true. It depends on WHY the flame is blue. However, it is true that in order for black body radiation (aka cavity radiation) to appear blue, the object it's coming from must be significantly hotter than an object from which the cavity radiation appears red. Blue light has a shorter wavelength (and therefore a higher energy) than red light, so it requires a hotter object for the blue wavelengths to predominate.

What is the equation for the safety flame on a Bunsen burner?
There is no equation for a flame. You can try to write an equation for the reactions happening in the region we call the flame. I presume you mean when the air hole is closed and the flame is yellow. There is no one simple equation, as several reactions are going on, but this one accounts for the formation of the soot particles which give the flame its yellow colour:CH4 +O2 --> C + 2H2O
What do you need to make hydrocarbon burn properly?
Combustion = Heat, Oxygen and Fuel. Assuming you have enough Fuel (the hydrocarbon), and you have an adequate spark/source of heat, you need sufficient Oxygen to get it to burn completely (which I assume is what you mean for properly). An example is a Bunsen Burner. With the hole at the bottom fully open, plenty of air gets in, and the flame burns very blue and hot, with no yellow or soot, and (pretty much) complete combustion - meaning only CO2 and H2O products. If you close the hole partially or completely, less air (oxygen) makes it to the flame, and it burns with more Yellow, leaving soot on anything you put in the flame, and producing much CO.

Why fire burns when you blow?
if you mean blowing air from your mouth into an open flame then you are adding oxygen to the fire making it bigger and/or hotter :)
What does a blue flame mean on a gas furnace?
Sharp, noisy blue flame=too much air Blue flame with defined inner lighter blue cone= just right Soft blue flame with yellow tips=not enough air, or using LP gas Most times can be adjusted with the primary air shutter on the burner tube, being careful to check for good ignition after adjustment. Caution: a yellow flame can carbon/clog up the heat exchanger eventually.
