For a Bunsen burner the lowest temperature is in the extreme lower part of the flame.
The coolest flame on the Bunsen burner is the yellow-orange flame - approx. 300 0C.
The hottest portion of the non luminous flame is the inner cone (light blue center).
A lazy yellow flame is the "coolest" flame.
The external part of the flame is the coolest.
Non-luminous flame should be used for heating in the laboratory because the flame is steady and produce little or no soot.Non-luminous flame is very hot thus, it is recommendable to use for laboratory purposes.Luminous flame is unsteady while non-luminous flame is steady.Another reason of using non-luminous flame because the flame of non-luminous is blue, and not visible unlike the luminous flame which is yellow in colour and visible.
-A non-luminous flame is when the air hole of the Bunsen burner is closed but a luminous flame is produced when the air hole is opened.-A luminous flame has an outer of orange colour and an inner of blue. A non-luminous flame has an outer of blue and an inner of orange.-A luminous flame produces soot while a non-luminous does not produce soot.-A luminous flame is weak and unsteady. A non-luminous flame is strong and steady.-A non-luminous flame is very hot while a luminous flame is not too hot.
The degree of a luminous flame is 100 degree .
Turning a luminous flame to a non-luminous flame when not in use conserves fuel because non-luminous flames burn more efficiently. A non-luminous flame produces less soot and smoke, making it safer and better for indoor air quality.
Non-luminous flame should be used for heating in the because the flame is steady and produce little or no soot. Non-luminous flame is very hot thus, it is recommen- dable to use for laboratory purposes. Luminous flame is unsteady while non-lumi- nous flame is steady. Another reason of using non-luminous flame because the flame of non-luminous is blue, and not visible unlike the luminous flame which is yellow in colour and visible.
A luminous flame is produced when a chemical reaction (such as combustion) releases energy in the form of light. The presence of solid particles or molecules in the flame can also contribute to its luminosity by emitting light as they are heated. This is different from a non-luminous flame, which does not produce visible light.
A sooty flame is typically considered a non-luminous flame because it does not produce significant visible light. It appears dark or dim due to the presence of unburned carbon particles (soot) in the flame.
The two kinds of flames produced by a Bunsen burner are the luminous flame (yellow flame) and the non-luminous flame (blue flame). The luminous flame is cooler and produces soot, while the non-luminous flame is hotter and ideal for heating and sterilizing.
