Exhibit description
This fact is exemplified by the design of the burner. The air and gas are mixed in the nozzle – a tube with openings at its base. It is possible to change the quantity of air in the nozzle by adjusting the size of these openings – the more air comes into the nozzle, the hotter the flame.
This type of burner was first used by the chemist Robert Bunsen in his very well-equipped laboratory at the University of Heidelberg.
