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 …

The soot formation process was investigated in two low pressure premixed methane flames:
a reference sooting flame with equivalence ratio 2.32 and a so called nucleation flame with …

Many oxygenated hydrocarbon species formed during combustion, such as furans, are
highly toxic and detrimental to human health and the environment. These species may also …

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 …

Methane pyrolysis is a very attractive and climate-friendly process for hydrogen production
and the sequestration of carbon as solid material. The formation of soot particles in methane …

At the present day, ultrafine soot particles have become the object of increasing attention
due to their well-documented adverse effects on human health and climate. In particular …

We report here the experimental investigation of lightly sooting methane premixed flames
with and without hydrogen. Two different approaches were considered to introduce …

Distributions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and their correlation with soot
formation were studied in ethylene–air swirl flames stabilized in a gas turbine model …
