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

This review presents a glossary and review of terminology used to describe the chemical
and physical processes involved in soot formation and evolution and is intended to aid in …

The understanding of soot formation in combustion processes and the optimization of
practical combustion systems require in situ measurement techniques that can provide …

Soot is responsible for notoriously detrimental effects on human health, air quality, and
global and regional climate. Controlling soot emissions to the atmosphere will require …

The soot formation process was investigated in two low pressure premixed methane flames:
a reference sooting flame with equivalence ratio 2.32 and a so called nucleation flame with …

We performed a study of the evolution of soot composition and fine structure, ie, maturity
level, in an atmospheric ethylene-air diffusion flame. We used laser-induced incandescence …

This work aims at improving the understanding of soot formation in laminar premixed flames
with a strong focus on the interactions between soot and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons …

In this work we investigate nascent soot particles by analyzing laser-induced incandescence
(LII) signals obtained in low-sooting premixed flames. The analysis covers two data sets …

The evolution of primary soot particles is studied experimentally and numerically along the
centreline of a co-flow laminar diffusion flame. Soot samples from a flame fueled with C 2 H …

Laser-induced incandescence (LII) measurements were conducted to explore the ability of
LII to detect small soot particles of less than 10 nm in two sooting flat premixed flames of n …
