As stated above. Some metals and stuff are fine if you were to throw them into say, a camp fire, so to smelt them you need… hotter fire? How does one achieve that hotter fire and how/ why does it work?
In: Chemistry
Fire is the reaction of three things: fuel, oxygen and heat. Once the fire is going it is going to generate its own heat. So you need to play with the fuel and oxygen.
the easiest way to get a fire to burn hotter is to force more oxygen into the center of the burning fuel. Many fires (solid fuel external combustion, we are not doing internal combustion here) are oxygen starved so forcing more oxygen into the fire will allow more fuel to burn. You can see this in forges where the open coals have bellows or fans to improve air flow.
