Understanding the dynamics of soot formation and growth during combustion of jet fuel is
essential for mitigation of aircraft engine emissions. Here, soot formation during enclosed …

Soot formed in flames hotter than conventional combustion applications is expected to
undergo unique formation processes and develop a carbon structure distinct from typical …

This paper aims to investigate the chemical effects of CO 2 and H 2 O addition on PAH
formation in laminar premixed C 2 H 4/O 2/Ar flames using laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) …

A detailed kinetic mechanism of soot formation and oxidation is revised and extended to
include temperature-dependent collision efficiencies. The collision efficiency for various …

This paper presents a comparative study focusing on the chemical effects of dimethyl ether
(DME) and ethanol (EtOH) on PAH formation in fuel-rich laminar premixed ethylene flames …

Combustion processes with pure oxygen (oxy-fuel) instead of air as oxidant are attractive for
high temperature thermal or thermochemical and gasification processes. The absence of …

Si nanocrystals (NCs) are synthesizable in low-pressure plasmas with narrow diameter
distributions because of unipolar negative charging in the plasma. However, NCs must pass …

Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) technique has been widely applied in PAH measurement
in sooting flames, but it is still a big challenge to quantitatively identify the specific PAH …

A light extinction technique is widely-adopted for quantitative measurement of soot volume
fractions. The measurement accuracy is dependent on the optical properties of soot, which …

Soot has received considerable attention since it is a major pollutant in exhaust gas from
fossil fuel combustion and it causes adverse climate and health effects. This work focused …
