Oxygenated fuels have been widely used in combustion engines to tailor fuel properties,
improve combustion performance and reduce harmful emissions such as soot particles …

Over the last two decades, our understanding of soot formation has evolved from an
empirical, phenomenological description to an age of quantitative modeling for at least small …

The processes by which carbonaceous nanoparticles are produced from combustion of
liquid and gaseous fuels are reviewed. The focus of the paper is on the formation and …

In this work, a new statistical model for soot formation and growth is developed and
presented. The Hybrid Method of Moments (HMOM) seeks to combine the advantages of two …

Previous studies suggest that soot formed in premixed flat flames can contain a substantial
amount of aliphatic compounds. Presence of these compounds may affect the kinetics of …

Many natural gas combustion devices work under non-atmospheric pressure, and the
pressure has a significant impact on the combustion process. In order to promote the …

The burner stabilized stagnation flame technique coupled with micro-orifice probe sampling
and mobility sizing has evolved into a useful tool for examining the evolution of the particle …

The evolution of the soot particle size distribution function (PSDF) and particle morphology
are studied for premixed ethylene–oxygen–argon flat flames at equivalence ratio ϕ= 2.07 …

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

The formation, growth, and transport of soot is investigated via large scale numerical
simulation in a three-dimensional turbulent non-premixed n-heptane/air jet flame at a jet …
