Gas burner

A gas burner is a device to generate a flame to heat up products using a gaseous fuel such as acetylene, natural gas or propane. Some burners have an air inlet to mix the fuel gas with air to make a complete combustion. Acetylene is commonly used in combination with oxygen.

It has many applications such as soldering, brazing and welding, the latter using oxygen instead of air for getting a hotter flame which is required for melting steel. For laboratory uses a natural gas fired Bunsen burner is used. For melting metals with melting points of up to 1100°C such as copper, silver and gold a propane burner with natural drag of air can be used.

Info & Assuming:

Adiabatic flame
20 degrees Celsius 1 bar atmosphere
Complete combustion (no soot and more blue-like flame is the key) (Stoichiometric)
Peak Temperature
Speed of Combustion (has no effect on temp, but more energy released per second (as adiabatic) compared to normal flame)
Spectral bands also effect colour of flame as of what part and elements of combustion
Blackbody radiation (colour appearance only because of heat)
Atmosphere - effects temperature of flame and colour due the atmospheric colour effect

Note: Atmosphere is air at 20 celsius.
