tell me the parts of a burning flame of candle
A burning candle flame contains three distinct parts:
- The innermost zone: It is directly above the wick and contains wax vapors . It has lowest temperature.
- The middle zone: It is a yellow portion of flame which is oxygen depleted zone and so here only the partial oxidation occurs, but the oxygen is insufficient to burn all the vapors present. The temperature of this zone is hotter than the innermost zone.
- The Outer zone: It is the area where the flame is hottest and the oxidation process is complete.
