Occupational therapy is about helping people do the day-to-day tasks that occupy their time, sustain themselves, and enable them to contribute to the wider community. It is these opportunities to do, which occupational therapy provides, that prove important and meaningful to the health of people.
A burning candle produces a luminous flame. What is the fuel for a burning candle? Why is the flame luminous? The fuel for candles is the wax as well as the oxygen. The candle experiences this type of flame because there is an insufficient amount of oxygen being burned.
How Candles Burn. All waxes are essentially hydrocarbons, which means they are largely composed of hydrogen (H) and carbon (C) atoms. When you light a candle, the heat of the flame melts the wax near the wick. This liquid wax is then drawn up the wick by capillary action. The heat of the flame vaporizes the liquid wax (turns it into a hot gas), and starts to break down the hydrocarbons into molecules of hydrogen and carbon.
