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

This paper provides an overview of a workshop focused on fundamental experimental and
theoretical aspects of soot measurements by laser-induced incandescence (LII). This …

The details of the chemical and physical mechanisms of the soot formation process in
combustion remain uncertain due to the highly complex nature of hydrocarbon flames, and …

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 …

A relatively short kinetic mechanism (93 species and 729 reactions) was developed to
predict the formation of poly-aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and their growth of up to five …

Based on recent theoretical and experimental evidences, this work proposes a detailed
discrete sectional soot model considering particles and aggregates behaving as stable …

A numerical study is conducted of ethane–air coflow diffusion flames at pressures from 2 to
15atm. The model employed uses a detailed gas phase chemical kinetic mechanism that …

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 …

Swirl-stabilized, nonpremixed ethylene/air flames were investigated at pressures up to 5 bar
to study the effect of different operating parameters on soot formation and oxidation. Focus of …
