1 Kerosene Lamp Spectra Kerosene = 50% paraffins, 25% cycloparaffins and 25% misc. hydrocarbons [1] Parafins = hydrocarbons with formula CnH2n+2 [2] Hydrocarbon combustion produces heat and water vapor [3] Strongly heated particles emit light [4]

3 Kerosene Lamp Spectra Blue and clear kerosene nearly identical
Slightly more orange (~600nm) in blue spectrum Fuel dye signature or experimental error? For future: test solutions with higher dye concentrations
