A Bunsen burner, named after Robert Bunsen, is a kind of ambient air gas burner used as laboratory equipment; it produces a single open gas flame, and is used for heating, sterilization, and combustion.
The Teclu burner vs. the Amal burner: The Amal burner is a burner created by the modification of the Bunsen and Teclu burner. The Amal burner was marketed by Messrs. Amal Ltd., of Birmingham. In this burner, a needle valve is inserted in the orifice of the jet to sensitively control the gas flow into the burner by an external screw.
Robert Bunsen invented the now-famous Bunsen burner in 1855, which was useful in flame tests due to its non-luminous flame that did not disrupt the colors emitted by the test materials. [ 4 ] [ 1 ] The Bunsen burner , combined with a prism (filtering the color interference of contaminants ), led to the creation of the spectroscope , capable of ...
A pipeclay triangle is a piece of laboratory apparatus that is used to support a crucible being heated by a Bunsen burner or other heat source. It is made of wires strung in an equilateral triangle on which are strung hollow ceramic, normally fire clay, tubes. The triangle is usually supported on a tripod or iron ring.
The first gas heater made use of the same principles as the Bunsen burner. Beginning in 1881, the burner's flame was used to heat a structure made of asbestos, a design patented by Sigismund Leoni, a British engineer. Later, fire clay replaced the asbestos because it is easier to mold.
In a Bunsen flame, a steady flow rate is provided which matches the flame speed so as to stabilize the flame. If the flow rate is below the flame speed, the flame will move upstream until the fuel is consumed or until it encounters a flame holder. If the flow rate is equal to the flame speed, we would expect a stationary flat flame front normal ...
Bunsen burner or spirit lamps or candles: source of fire / heat Ultracentrifuge: used to separate particles dispersed in a liquid according to their molecular mass: Electrophoresis apparatus: used to detect and classify serum proteins or proteins from any other source; also used for DNA separation Chromatography:
The burner was introduced by French chemist Georges Méker in an article published in 1905. [1] The Méker burner heating power can be around 3.6 kW using liquefied petroleum gas. [2] Flame temperatures of up to 1,100–1,200 °C (2,000–2,200 °F) are achievable.
