Many practical soot-emitting combustion systems such as diesel and jet engines rely on
diffusion flames for efficient and reliable operation. Efforts to mitigate soot emissions from …

Aromatic hydrocarbons are important components of petroleum-based transportation fuels,
biomass, coal, and solid waste, etc. The reaction kinetics of aromatic hydrocarbons largely …

This paper reviews the state-of-the-art in catalytic processes to convert methane (a major
component of natural gas) to more valuable hydrocarbons as fuels or chemicals. The scope …

The generation by combustion processes of airborne species of current health concern such
as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and soot particles necessitates a detailed …

A reaction mechanism having molecular growth up to benzene for hydrocarbon fuels with up
to four carbon-atoms was extended to include the formation and growth of polycyclic …

The article addresses the formation mechanisms of naphthalene and indene, which
represent prototype polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) carrying two six-membered and …

Methane can be converted directly to C2 hydrocarbons by pyrolysis or thermal coupling. The
reaction is highly endothermic and the heat must be supplied at high temperatures. Ethene …

A relatively short kinetic mechanism (93 species and 729 reactions) was developed to
predict the formation of poly-aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and their growth of up to five …

Molten salts have received renewed attention as potential reaction media for methane
pyrolysis, in which CO2-free hydrogen gas can be produced and the solid carbon can be …

Kinetic modeling is becoming a powerful tool for the quantitative description of combustion
processes covering different fuels and large ranges of temperature, pressure and …
