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 …

Alternative transportation fuels, preferably from renewable sources, include alcohols with up
to five or even more carbon atoms. They are considered promising because they can be …

Spark ignition gasoline vehicles comprise most light duty vehicles worldwide. These
vehicles were not historically associated with PM emissions. This changed about 15 years …

The properties of butanol offer more promising results compared to those of lower chain
alcohol such as methanol or ethanol. However, butanol as a biofuel has not yet been …

In this study, Euro V diesel fuel, biodiesel, and ethanol–biodiesel blends (BE) were tested in
a 4-cylinder direct-injection diesel engine to investigate the combustion, performance and …

Flame-sampling molecular-beam mass spectrometry of premixed, laminar, low-pressure flat
flames has been demonstrated to be an efficient tool to study combustion chemistry. In this …

Soot particle emission from combustion processes is a significant environmental and health
problem. Optical detection is clearly the only viable choice for in situ PAH and soot …

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

An experimental and numerical analysis of the effects of methanol and ethanol addition on
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) and soot formation in non-premixed ethylene flames …

According to directives 2003/30/EC and 2009/28/EC of the European Parliament and the
Council, Member States should promote the use of biofuel. Consequently, since 2011 all …
