Why does a goldsmith blow air into a kerosene lamp with a blow pipe?

Solution

A goldsmith blows air into the kerosene lamp flame with a blow pipe so that complete combustion of fuel takes place and the temperature of the flame increases. The goldsmith requires a hotter flame to make jewellery. Otherwise the goldsmith blows the outermost, hotter zone of the flame on the jewellery.
