Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are mostly formed during the incomplete
combustion of organic materials, but their importance and presence in materials science …

Aromatic hydrocarbons are important components of petroleum-based transportation fuels,
biomass, coal, and solid waste, etc. The reaction kinetics of aromatic hydrocarbons largely …

This article presents a chemical mechanism for the high temperature combustion of a wide
range of hydrocarbon fuels ranging from methane to iso-octane. The emphasis is placed on …

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 …

Sooting tendencies have been determined for aromatic hydrocarbons using a new
definition: the maximum soot volume fraction fv, max measured in a coflow methane/air …

Although the mechanism of cracking of distillate fractions is well-known, the reactions that
underlay conversion of the residue fractions of petroleum and bitumen are not well defined …

Alternative chemical reaction pathways leading to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
in the pyrolysis of unsaturated light hydrocarbons were investigated to extend the previously …

An improved polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) model is developed to predict the
decomposition of indene and the formation of large PAHs under pyrolytic conditions. This …

We measured aerosol mass spectra and mobility size distributions of particles formed during
the pyrolysis of ethylene, indene, and a mixture of ethylene with a small amount of indene …

Dimethyl ether (DME) is an alternative fuel with significantly reduced particulate (ie, soot)
emissions. The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and soot formation in pure DME …
