3. The size of the flame depends on the gas-air mixture. If a high proportion of primary air enters the flame would be much smaller and concentrated giving higher flame temperatures. This gives rise to carbon dioxide because of unburned gases. For this the injector was again the great solution. As the gas comes out of the injector air enters into the stream and is mixed in the mixing tube with the gas before it comes out of the burner port. Combustion zone is where the gas burns in the primary air and generates heat in the flame and combustion is completed with the aid of the secondary air that is drawn into the air from the sides. Fig 7: Injector pin [3]
4. The amount of gas emerging out of the injector enters into the mixing chamber …show more content…

Therefore, most burners are designed to have a throat that gives an aeration greater than optimum and also with a device for restricting the air flow so that the optimum aeration can be set for any given situation.
5. If the mixing chamber is small good mixing of gas air mixture cannot be done. So, a lot of energy will be wasted. Therefore, there are many ways of improving the gas air mixture:
• By providing a long mixing chamber serves in good mixing of gas air mixture. But the mixing tube will be very long.
• By using a venturi, with a pipe that tapers into the throat and then again tapers out smoothly. In this the air flow can be adjusted by screwing the injector into or out of the throat or by moving the throat relative to the injector. Fig 8: Throat or Diffuser [3]
• The air flow in the venturi can also be controlled with the help of a throttle valve which can be screwed to block the throat. Fig 9: Throat with Throttle [3]
The venturi can be smaller than the cylindrical mixing tube. Therefore, it can be used in any place even if the space is limited.
6. Equivalent supply of heat to cook anything is the main necessity for high efficiency and reduce the energy consumption. Therefore, burner ports were designed. So, the flame can be directed effectively where it is needed. It is possible for the flame of the burner to travel back to the
