What shape candle consumes the most wax in the shortest amount of time?
I am conducting a science fair project on what shape candle consumes the most wax in the shortest amount of time. I am going to take a few different shaped candles (circle,square,oval, Etc.) and burn them for about a day. The candles will all be white and unscented. I already have a hypothesis predicting that circular candles will burn the most wax in the shortest amount of time.
I am wondering if any body else has done this experiment, i am looking to compare results and find some tips before i start. Thank you so much!
A tall slender candle will burn the most wax if its diameter is such that all the wax is within range of heating effects of the flame. This kind is commonly called a taper.
Any candle that is larger in diameter will burn only the wax that can be fed to the wick and after a time the wick is very short above the lake of wax and isn't burning much. Votive candles burned in cups and tea candles which come in their own little aluminum cups will burn for a very long time if the wax can't escape - some votive are sold with specific ratings, like 10 hours. A larger candle will act as its own cup, the melting wax boring a hole down the middle.
For your test, be very sure that all the wicks are the same size - bigger wick burns more wax.
