Combustion is a reactive oxidation process that releases energy bound in chemical
compounds used as fuels─ energy that is needed for power generation, transportation …

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 …

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 …

The mechanism of carbon particulate (soot) inception has been a subject of numerous
studies and debates. The article begins with a critical review of prior proposals, proceeds to …

As the main pollutant emitted by automobile engines, soot particles have brought great harm
to the environment and human health. However, the soot formation process in automobile …

The study of soot has long been motivated by its adverse impacts on health and the
environment. However, this combustion knowledge is also relevant to the production of …

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 …

Nucleation is an important, yet poorly understood step in soot formation. Here, the
importance of reactive PAH dimerization in reducing soot nucleation reversibility is …

Black carbon is a byproduct of incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons and it has attracted
widespread attention in various fields such as atmospheric chemistry, climate change, and …
