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

A review of fundamental research in combustion stabilization for hypersonic airbreathing
propulsion is presented. Combustion in high-speed airbreathing propulsion systems …

Mercury (Hg) emission from coal combustion has attracted considerable public concern
because of its harmful effects on human health and the ecosystem. The fundamental …

Combustion involves chemical reactions that are often highly exothermic. Combustion
systems utilize the energy of chemical compounds released during this reactive process for …

Soot emitted from incomplete combustion of hydrocarbon fuels contributes to global
warming and causes human disease. The mechanism by which soot nanoparticles form …

One of the key tasks of combustion chemistry research is to develop accurate and robust
combustion kinetic models for practical fuels. An accurate and robust kinetic model yields …

Nanoparticle additive fuels (NAFs) are new generation fuels containing nano-sized
functional agents that regulate combustion, atomization, and emission behavior without …

Ozone is considered to be an effective combustion promotor and has the potential to be
applied to a variety of fuels. In this work, the reaction mechanism for thermal conversion of …

The low reactivity of ammonia (NH3) is the main barrier to applying neat NH3 as fuel in
technical applications, such as internal combustion engines and gas turbines. Introducing …

Using an in-house 0D plasma chemical solver, this paper investigates the species involved
in plasma-assisted reforming of both pure ammonia and stoichiometric ammonia-air …
