Heat output of a bunsen burner

The Heat Output Of A Bunsen Burner Flame

To compare the heat output of a Bunsen burner using different types of flames.

For my preliminary work I investigated three fuels to see which had the highest temperature. These fuels were hexamine, candle and a paraffin lamp. I did this experiment by putting a beaker of water (200ml) over the burning fuel and recording the initial and final mass. The temperature was risen 20c and using the results we found the temperature rise per gram. This helped design this experiment because it has the same idea of a beaker over the burning fuel. The difference is that we are seeing the heat given off by the Bunsen burner flame and not the fuel.

I predict that the flame will be at its hottest when the air hole of the Bunsen burner is totally open and the gas tap is on full (roaring flame). I predict that the flame with the air hole closed and the gas tap on slightly will make a flame with little heat compared to the full roaring flame.

Methane and oxygen give off carbon dioxide and water so:

I also predict that the roaring flame will give off more heat than the safety flame no matter how far the gas tap is on.
