The higher up the flame, the colder it is. Just above the blue cone is the hottest. Close the air inlet and heat above a yellow flame for gentle heat.
No, holding a balloon under a flame will cause it to pop because the heat weakens the rubber material, leading to a sudden burst. It's not advisable to expose a balloon to direct flame or heat sources.
Pans are placed over a flame and not on the side of the flame, because it is an energy transfer by direct contact called conduction. And as you can see, pans are usually made of metals, wherein metals are a good conductor of heat unlike wood, which is a poor conductor of heat.

When heating something gently with a Bunsen burner, you should use a low flame, often referred to as a "yellow flame" or "safety flame." This flame is cooler and provides a steady, controlled heat suitable for delicate tasks. It is achieved by partially closing the air supply to create a luminous flame, which is ideal for situations where a gentle heat is required to avoid overheating or splattering.
Grilling hamburgers over a charcoal flame involves heat transfer by conduction. The heat from the charcoal is transferred to the grates of the grill, and then to the burgers through direct contact, cooking them evenly and creating a delicious sear on the outside.
A Bunsen Burner is a controlled gas-burning heat source (a "gas candle") that supplies direct heat or flame for scientific experiments and research. (The flame can be blocked by screens to reduce the deposition of soot on test tubes and beakers.)
When you place your hand above the lighted candle, you are closer to the source of heat, which is the flame. The heat rises vertically from the flame and directly impacts your hand when placed above it. On the other hand, when your hand is at the sides of the candle, you are farther away from the direct source of heat, so you feel less heat.
"Flame" is the visible energy when burning something. "Heat" is given off a flame and countless other things. Flame produces heat, but heat does not always generate from flame, and heat almost never produces flame (friction might count). And if you want the definitions: HEAT: a form of energy that is transferred by a difference in temperature. FLAME: the process of combustion of materials producing heat and light and (often) smoke. If you want to think of it a different way: Flame is what you see when you look at a fire and heat if what you feel from the fire.
You can calculate the heat of a flame by its color. Normally the hotter that the flame is the bluer that the flame will burn. If the flame is red that means it is burning at a cooler temerature.
When roasting a marshmallow the transfer of heat from the flame to the marshmallow is radiation.Radiation is the transfer of heat through energy waves. It can actually be considered conduction as well if you place the marshmallow into the flame, since that is the direct transfer of heat.
A blow torch can be used to apply heat effectively in a project by adjusting the flame intensity, directing the heat to the desired area, and maintaining a safe distance from the object being heated. This allows for precise and controlled application of heat to achieve the desired results in the project.
Blue flame. because it does not have carbon
