Upstream of the point of ignition.

In a non-aerated burner, where does the air mix with the flame?

Gas is supplied to the combustion area without being mixed with air before it is ignited.

In an atmospheric burner, how is air supplied to there burner?

By atmospheric pressure.

Blue flame with inner cone indicates?

Proper combustion.
