I am curious about the physics of two different types of burners. The 
burners that are in the
ABANA / Gunter forge have no adj. carb, the tube has no flare, but they 
do have an oblique
angle of 135*.
Why does the one type need a flare (to burn correctly) and not the 
other? One needs carbonation,
one not. I have been reading the burner book and have found (so far 
anyway) no reference to these
bent tube burners.

Thanks All.

   There is almost no reference to other types of burners in the book "Gas 
Burners for Forges, Furnaces, & Kilns." Room was strictly limited by the need to 
keep its price in bounds. A treatise on other burner designs would have at 
least doubled its size. Also, people tend to feel overwhelmed by the amount of 
information in it already, even though what is there has been kept to the bare 
necessities for building good equipment. Perhaps someone will compile a 
general survey of craft burners, and I will be happy to buy it. But, I would not 
devote another three years to writing one.
