WHAT makes a gas stove
pop back w. III.

The gas which is mixed with air
before it gets to the burners forms
an explosive mixture. The action
of such a mixture in burning quiet
ly and at one spot depends upon
two things: How fast explosion
takes place from layer to layer,
called the speed Of explosion, and
how fast the mixture is forced out
by pressure. 1t is obvious that il
the mixture is forced out as fast
as the explosion runs back, the ac-
tual point of burning will stay In
one place; that is, at the burner.
The stove pops back generally just
az you have turned on the gas and
ignited 1t. Therefore, your gas
running through the air In the piece
of pipe to the burner has not had
time to get this air in motion-and
30 the speed of explosion runs the
point of ignition backwards to
where the gas comes out as gas. 1t
can go no further than this, for the
gas will not burn unless it is mixed
with air. 1t is possible also that
the air hole lets in too much air for
the gas pressure. So IL the jet con-
tinues to pop back, either close this
hole further, or put your hand over
1t and let the gas run few seconds
before you ignite 1t. The burner To-
calizes the ignition point between
certain limits by being a good con-
ductor of heat.
