The route by which gas-phase molecules in hydrocarbon flames form condensed-phase
carbonaceous nanoparticles (incipient soot) is reviewed. These products of incomplete …

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 …

The mechanism of carbon particulate (soot) inception has been a subject of numerous
studies and debates. The article begins with a critical review of prior proposals, proceeds to …

Over the last two decades, our understanding of soot formation has evolved from an
empirical, phenomenological description to an age of quantitative modeling for at least small …

This book has evolved from a lecture series (of J. Wa.) on combustion at stuttgart University.
The lectures were intended to provide firstayear graduate students (and advanced …

Detailed modeling of soot particle nucleation and growth in laminar premixed hydrocarbon
flames is presented. The model begins with fuel pyrolysis, followed by the formation of …

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

Chemical reactions and physical processes responsible for the formation of polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons and soot in hydrocarbon flames are reviewed. The discussion is …

The present study reports an updated detailed chemical kinetic model for soot formation.
The model combines recent developments in gas-phase reactions, aromatic chemistry, soot …

A computational study was performed for the formation and growth of polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAHs) in laminar premixed acetylene and ethylene flames. A new detailed …
