The continuous flame in older gas stoves is called a pilot light. It is a small gas flame that stays lit constantly, serving as an ignition source for the main burner when needed. This design has largely been replaced by electronic ignitions in newer gas stoves for efficiency and safety reasons.

Why do older people get Klebsiella?

Older people are more prone to Klebsiella infections due to weakened immune systems and underlying health conditions that make them more susceptible to bacterial infections. Age-related changes in the immune system can make older adults less able to fight off pathogens like Klebsiella. Additionally, factors such as chronic diseases, prolonged hospital stays, and long-term antibiotic use can also increase the risk of Klebsiella infections in older individuals.


When a metal pan is heated on the stove what is it?

All stove flames are hotter than you would expect any pan to normally be so there is a temperature gradient between the flame and the pan. Heat is transferred from the hot gasses of the flame to the pan by two mechanisms: convective heat transfer and radiant heat transfer. Note that the hotter the flame, the more significant the radiant heat transfer becomes.


What compound does not decompose when it is heated with a Bunsen burner?

Silicon dioxide (SiO2), commonly known as quartz, does not decompose when heated with a Bunsen burner. This is because SiO2 has a very high melting point, around 1,710°C, which is above the typical temperature of a Bunsen burner flame. Instead of decomposing, it stays solid and retains its structure.

Does the flame on the olympic torch still alight while it is on an aircraft?

The Olympic torch stays burning with propane


How do eternal flames work?

Commonly natural gas or propane is piped into the base of the flame. Since the conduit is encased or hidden from view it appears the flame stays alight through some mysterious means.

Why does your gas water heater flame go out as soon as it lights. My pilot stays lit. Is this a bad T-Stat or gas valve?

sounds like you have a bad thermocouple. The thermocouple senses the pilot flame and produces voltage to tell main flame to light. Thermocouple can be bought at any hardware store.


What The Pilot ignites?

The pilot light is a small flame which stays on all the time (as in older water heaters for example). When the water temperature drops below the thermostat setting, the main heating gas is turned on and the pilot light ignites it. There are many other uses for pilot lights. To conserve gas, modern water heaters generate a spark to light the gas.

How does a balloon pilot use density to control the altitude of a balloon?

the pilot heats the air stored in the balloon with a large flame the hotter it gets the higher it goes because the heat changes the density to make it go up or down if the pilot decreases the size of the flame the hot air lowers because the smaller flame has less heat giving it a higher volume, but the air stays the same thus making it lower

How does a gas furnace pilot flame stay burning?

A gas furnace pilot flame stays burning by receiving a constant flow of gas from the pilot light assembly. The pilot light assembly contains a thermocouple that detects the presence of the pilot flame. If the flame goes out, the thermocouple signals the gas valve to shut off, preventing any gas leaks.
