Message Subject FRIDAY Night science quiz: How hot would my living-room get with a million candles lit?
Poster Handle Anonymous Coward
Post Content
The candles would melt faster than the wicks can feed fuel and the temperature would bring up the wax to combustion temperature and then your house would be around 3000F for a few hours.


The rubble will still be hot so wait a few days before going back on your house. Notice I did not say in.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 11696035

See, I wouldn't come to this conclusion because the source of heat is the candle's flame 1,000 °C. Even if the source is added to a million more sources they could never produce more then their capacity being 1,000 °C. Unless something else catches on fire with a different combustion temperature.

PEACE
