As it relates to hydrocarbon gases, blue flame is indicative of complete combustion whilst a yellow flame indicates incomplete combustion. An LPG blue flame also burns hotter, at around 1,980°C, vs about 1,000°C for a yellow flame.
Which is hotter a blue or yellow flame?
In a flame the outer most layer or the blue flame is hotter than the Yellow or Red flame because a “complete combustion” takes place in the area.
Why flame is yellow and blue?
The yellow arises from incandescence of very fine soot particles that are produced in the flame. When the air inlet is opened, less soot is produced. When enough air is supplied, no soot is produced and the flame becomes blue.
