Abstract High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM) has been a widely used technique for the analysis of nanostructure of turbostratic carbon. Since the late …
Over the years, oxygenated fuels such as biodiesel and alcohol fuels have been useful in reducing particulate matter (PM) emissions of diesel engines. The presence of oxygen in the …
The soot emission is an urgent problem that deserves extensive studies to suppress it. The smallest ketone was investigated in this study as a soot suppressor in a diesel engine. The …
The composition and carbon nanostructure of soot are important parameters influencing health and climate effects, and the efficacy of soot mitigation technologies. We used laser …
The substituted and unsubstituted aromatic hydrocarbons, present in transportation fuels such as gasoline and diesel, are thought to be responsible for most of the soot particles …
Aromatic hydrocarbons are commonly found in fossil-derived transportation fuels, and their combustion in engines produce most of the observed soot particles. Toluene is an important …
This study is an attempt to compare the manual and automatic approaches for analysis of the morphology and nanostructure of soot particles. The automated methodology is …
Oxygenated biodiesel presents lower sooting propensity than conventional diesel, providing a good opportunity to resolve the high particulate emissions issue. This study reports soot …
The present study unveils the soot formation processes occurring inside the piston-bowl of a small-bore diesel engine by conducting the thermophoresis-based soot sampling …
