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

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 …

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 …

This work aims to develop a reaction mechanism for gasoline surrogate fuels (n-heptane, iso-
octane and toluene) with an emphasis on the formation of large polycyclic aromatic …

Population balance models are tools for the study of dispersed systems, such as granular
materials, polymers, colloids and aerosols. They are applied with increasing frequency …

A critical step in currently accepted models for soot formation in combustion is the
dimerization of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as small as pyrene, which is necessary …

Recently, an improved chemical mechanism of PAH growth was developed and tested in
soot computations for a laminar co-flow non-premixed ethylene–air diffusion flame. In the …

Soot (sometimes referred to as black carbon) is produced when hydrocarbon fuels are
burned. Our hypothesis is that polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules are the …

Oxy-coal combustion is one of the leading technologies for carbon capture and storage. This
paper presents a review of the opportunities and challenges surrounding the development …

In this paper, the adsorption mechanisms between different species (CH 3, CH 4, C 2 H 2, C
2 H 4, C 2 H 6, and C 6 H 6) and the carbon-based materials (pristine graphene, N-doped …
