All About Candles

A candleis a lightsource usuallyconsisting of an internalwickwhichrises throughthe centerof a column of solid fuel. Typically the fuelis some formof wax withparaffin wax beingthe mostcommon. Priorto the candlebeingignited,the wickis saturated withthe fuelin its solid form. The heat of the match or otherflamebeingusedto lightthe candlefirst meltsand thenvaporizesa small amount of the fuel. Once vaporized, the fuelcombineswithoxygen in the atmosphereto forma flame. Thisflamethenprovidessufficient heat to keep the candleburning;via a self-sustaining chain of events: the heat of the flamemeltsthe top of the mass of solid fuel, the liquefiedfuelthenmovesupward throughthe wickvia capillary action, and the liquefiedfuelis thenvaporized to burnwithinthe candle's flame. The burning;of the fueltakesplace in severaldistinctregions(as evidencedby the variouscolorsthatcan be seen withinthe candle's flame). Within the bluer,hotter regions, hydrogenis beingseparatedfromthe fueland burned;to formwater vapor. The brighter,yellower part of the flameis the remainingcarbon soot beingoxidized to formcarbon dioxide.

Asthe mass of the solid fuelis melted and consumed, the candlegrows shorter. Portions of the wickthatare not evaporatingthe liquid fuelare themselvesconsumed in the flame, limiting the exposedlengthof the wick.
