1. Draw and label the parts of:

a. Bunsen burner

b. Tirrill burner
2. Give the function of its part
 The three principal parts of the burner are: barrel, needle valve, and base. The quantity
of gas admitted to the burner is controlled by the needle valve, while the air needed for
combustion is admitted at the small opening around the bottom of the barrel. The air is
controlled by turning the barrel so as to make the air holes larger or smaller.
 The only real difference between a bunsen burner and a tirril burner is a needle valve at
the base of a tirril burner. This little tube allows a greater control of the air/gas flow
through the system.

3. How is the Bunsen burner different from Terrill burner

 A Bunsen burner uses air from inside of it.
 A tirrill burner can use outside air.

4. Research on the techniques in manipulating the Bunsen burner and tirill burner.
a. Bunsen burner
 STEPS TO LIGHT BUNSEN BURNER:
1. Check connections to burner and desk outlet valve.
2. Close needle valve and barrel.
3. Open desk outlet valve fully.
4. Check for leaks with flame.
5. While holding flame above barrel, open needle valve 1/2 turn.
6. Adjust barrel and needle valve for blue in blue flame.
b. Tirill burner
 The Tirrill burner is an improved version of the Bunsen burner. The
improvement allows finer control over the mixture of air and gas. This control is
accomplished by having the upright tube shape to accomodate a ring of
machined holes to admit air and a gas valve in the base of the burner to control
gas flow. By rotating the upright tube, the openings for air may be partially
closed as th shaft screws down on the base. It has a one-piece base/gas inlet
that prevents gas leakage.The aluminum stack is is furnished with a flame
stabilizer.
