The understanding of soot formation in combustion processes and the optimization of
practical combustion systems require in situ measurement techniques that can provide …

Particulate emissions from motor vehicles have received increased attention over the past
two decades owing to associations observed between ambient particulate matter (PM) …

The editors have assembled a world-class group of contributors who address the questions
the combustion diagnostic community faces. They are chemists who identify the species to …

This paper describes a model for analyzing and predicting the temporal behavior of laser-
induced incandescence (LII) from combustion-generated soot, carbon black, and other …

Laser-induced incandescence (LII) has proved to be a useful diagnostic tool for spatially and
temporally resolved measurement of particulate (soot) volume fraction and primary particle …

One of the most serious problems associated with Diesel engines is pollutant emissions,
specially nitrogen oxides and particulate matter. However, although current emissions …

We investigated the physical and chemical changes induced in soot aggregates exposed to
laser radiation using a scanning mobility particle sizer, a transmission electron microscope …

We present a data set for testing models of time-resolved laser-induced incandescence of
soot. Measurements were made in a laminar ethene diffusion flame over a wide range of …

Uncertainties in modeling heat conduction in connection with the application of laser-
induced incandescence (LII) to primary particle sizing are discussed. Comparing two models …

In order to study the soot formation and oxidation phenomena during the combustion
process of Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engines, soot volume fraction measurements were …
