Which phenomenon allowed early furnaces using bellows to achieve sufficiently high smelting temperatures?

💡 Explanation

When bellows are used to introduce air into a furnace, induced draft increases combustion efficiency because it accelerates airflow and removes exhaust gases, maximizing oxygen supply to the fuel and driving up the flame temperature. Therefore, induced draft results, rather than other heat transfer or compression effects, enabling higher temperatures.
