A candle wick works by capillary action, conveying ("wicking") the fuel to the flame. When the liquid fuel, typically melted candle wax, reaches the flame it then vaporizes and combusts. In other words, the wick brings the liquified wax up into the flame to burn. [1] The candle wick influences how the candle burns.
Zones in a candle flame The interior of the luminous zone can be much hotter, beyond 1,500 °C (2,730 °F). [3] Color and temperature of a flame are dependent on the type of fuel involved in the combustion. For example, when a lighter is held to a candle, the applied heat causes the fuel molecules in the candle wax to vaporize.
It usually happens when you don’t allow a new candle to burn long enough the first time you use it. It can also happen if a wick isn’t large enough or it’s off-center.
The clothed human body acts like an "inside-out" candle, with the fuel source (human fat) inside and the wick (the clothing of the victim) outside. Hence there is a continuous supply of fuel in the form of melting fat seeping into the victim's clothing. Fat contains a large amount of energy due to the presence of long hydrocarbon chains.
Title page to the first edition. Intended for young beginners, for whom it is well adapted, as an introduction to the study of chemistry. [3]According to Frank Wilczek: . It is a wonderful laying-bare of surprising facts and intricate structure in a (superficially) familiar process — the burning of a candle.

“Fat activism isn’t about making people feel better about themselves,” Pausé says. “It’s about not being denied your civil rights and not dying because a doctor misdiagnoses you.” And so, in a world that refuses to change, it is still up to every fat person, alone, to decide how to endure.
