Oxygenated fuels have been widely used in combustion engines to tailor fuel properties,
improve combustion performance and reduce harmful emissions such as soot particles …

This study is devoted to the evaluation of the impact of both esters' carbon chain length and
concentration on sooting propensities of Diesel and Biodiesel surrogates. Soot particles …

Soot has harmful effects on the environment and human health. The formation process of
soot includes six steps: fuel pyrolysis, soot nucleation, coalescence, surface growth …

The aim of this paper is to evaluate the effect of oxygenated compounds concentration on
sooting propensities of surrogate Diesel and Biodiesel, and to investigate the oxidative …

Emissions from diesel engines can be limited and potentially decreased by modifying the
fuel chemical composition through additive insertion. One class of additives that have shown …

The sooting propensities of binary mixtures of n-heptane and toluene on one hand, and
isooctane and toluene on the other hand are evaluated in atmospheric laminar diffusion …

The work focuses on the impact of fuel on soot reactivity and nanostructure. A 2.5 L, 4-
cylinder, turbocharged, common rail, direct injection light-duty diesel engine was used in …

Soot is one of the main pollutants produced by incomplete combustion of hydrocarbon fuels,
which poses a serious threat to human health and the urban environment. Alcohols have …

In this study, the surface functional groups types and concentrations, graphitization degree,
and oxidation reactivity of exhaust soot samples generated by a heavy-duty engine when …

Soot emissions in combustion are unwanted consequences of burning hydrocarbon fuels.
The presence of soot during and following combustion processes is an indication of …
