Biomass gasification is a promising technology in current and future low carbon energy
systems. Soot formation is a great technical challenge for the industrialization of biomass …

The study of soot has long been motivated by its adverse impacts on health and the
environment. However, this combustion knowledge is also relevant to the production of …

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 …

In this study, we present the results from a series of ReaxFF molecular dynamics (MD)
simulations to uncover the underlying mechanisms behind the nucleation and growth of …

A detailed model of soot formation is proposed, which consists of a gas-phase kinetic model
for the pyrolysis and oxidation of selected hydrocarbon fuels and a kinetic mechanism of …

Ammonia is considered as one of the most promising alternative fuels due to its carbon
neutrality and the existing infrastructure for its mass production and delivery. However …

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 …

A soot model was developed based on the recently proposed PAH growth mechanism for C
1–C 4 gaseous fuels (KAUST PAH Mechanism 2, KM2) that included molecular growth up to …

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 …

An experimental and numerical analysis of the effects of methanol and ethanol addition on
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) and soot formation in non-premixed ethylene flames …
