This review presents a glossary and review of terminology used to describe the chemical
and physical processes involved in soot formation and evolution and is intended to aid in …

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 …

As the main pollutant emitted by automobile engines, soot particles have brought great harm
to the environment and human health. However, the soot formation process in automobile …

Mitigation of soot emissions from combustion devices is a global concern. For example,
recent EURO 6 regulations for vehicles have placed stringent limits on soot emissions. In …

A novel model called Surface Shell Formation (SSF) is developed which predicts soot
maturity based on the equilibrium nanostructure of poly aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) …

Different non-intrusive optical and intrusive non optical diagnostic methods are used to
measure flame and soot properties in a laminar coflow diffusion flame in order to compare …

This paper reports the experimental and numerical results of soot formation in laminar
coflow diffusion flames of vaporized gasoline/ethanol blends at atmospheric pressure to …

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 …

Ultrafine and highly light absorbing soot particles have been known to be harmful to human
health and a major climate forcer. Understanding the mechanisms of soot formation and …

A new model for condensation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on the surface of
soot particles is developed based on the reversibility of the process. Statistical mechanics …
