Aviation emissions are the only direct source of anthropogenic particulate pollution at high
altitudes, which can form contrails and contrail-induced clouds, with consequent effects …

Growing concern over emissions from increased airport operations has resulted in a need to
assess the impact of aviation related activities on local air quality in and around airports, and …

In order to ensure reliable combustion performance and low emissions profiles for
prospective alternative fuels, this study was conducted in order to evaluate the impact of fuel …

This paper describes the results of the physical characterization of aircraft engine PM
emission measurements conducted during the Delta-Atlanta Hartsfield Study at the …

Diversified fuel supplies and stringent environmental pollution regulations in the aviation
sector have promoted the development of the alternative fuels industry. The chemical and …

Aircraft emissions of black carbon (BC) contribute to anthropogenic climate forcing and
degrade air quality. The smoke number (SN) is the current regulatory measure of aircraft …

This study evaluates the relationship between the emissions parameters of smoke number
(SN) and mass concentration of nonvolatile particulate matter (nvPM) in the exhaust of a gas …

The first order approximation (FOA3) currently employed to estimate BC mass emissions
underpredicts BC emissions due to inaccuracies in measuring low smoke numbers (SNs) …

Fuel formulation with the particular selection of fuel components is a promising approach
that offers the reduction of harmful emissions without altering the combustion system …

Particulate matter (PM) and soot emissions from aviation are a major source of pollution.
Reference soot is needed for calibration of optical instruments used for measurements of …
