Gas/kerosene stoves are designed with air inlets to ensure an oxygen-rich mixture, resulting in a clean blue flame. If cooking vessels’ bottoms turn black, it signals blocked air holes, leading to inefficient combustion and wasted fuel.
How does the design of gas/kerosene stoves contribute to flame cleanliness, and what does a blackened bottom of a cooking vessel indicate?

The design of gas/kerosene stoves contributes to flame cleanliness by incorporating air inlets that allow for a sufficient oxygen-rich mixture during combustion. This ensures a clean blue flame, indicative of complete combustion. A blackened bottom of a cooking vessel indicates blocked air holes in the stove. This blockage disrupts the proper air-fuel mixture, leading to incomplete combustion and the production of soot or carbon particles. The presence of soot on the bottom of the vessel signifies inefficient combustion, wasting fuel, and underscores the importance of maintaining clear air passages in the stove’s design.
