Combustion is a reactive oxidation process that releases energy bound in chemical
compounds used as fuels─ energy that is needed for power generation, transportation …

Laser-induced incandescence (LII) is a widely used combustion diagnostic for in situ
measurements of soot primary particle sizes and volume fractions in flames, exhaust gases …

Combustion involves chemical reactions that are often highly exothermic. Combustion
systems utilize the energy of chemical compounds released during this reactive process for …

Gas-phase synthesis of nanoparticles enables production of high-purity materials with well-
controlled properties in continuous flow processes. It is an established technology for a …

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 …

In flame synthesis of nanoparticles, the temperature history experienced by the nascent
particle aerosol defines the morphology, composition, and crystallinity of the resulting …

A novel matrix burner enabled the investigation of aerosol-doped laminar low-pressure
flames. Iron nitrate dissolved in 1-butanol was used as a typical model system, also found in …

To fully master a scaled-up combustion synthesis of nanoparticles toward a wide library of
materials with tailored functionalities, a detailed understanding of the underlying kinetic …

In this work, we introduce a new particle mass spectrometer (AP-PMS) that is able to detect
particle-size distributions at ambient pressure using a three-stage pumping design. This …

Probe sampling of soot particles in laminar premixed flames is a common method for
characterizing nascent soot formation. Probe intrusiveness into the flame can introduce …
