In the current energy scenario, the production of heat, power and biofuels from biomass has
become of major interest. Amongst diverse thermochemical routes, gasification has stood …

The route by which gas-phase molecules in hydrocarbon flames form condensed-phase
carbonaceous nanoparticles (incipient soot) is reviewed. These products of incomplete …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are mostly formed during the incomplete
combustion of organic materials, but their importance and presence in materials science …

Aromatic hydrocarbons are important components of petroleum-based transportation fuels,
biomass, coal, and solid waste, etc. The reaction kinetics of aromatic hydrocarbons largely …

Ammonia has received great attention of researchers as a hydrogen-rich carbon-free fuel
under the background of “carbon peak” and “carbon neutrality”. By discussing the surface …

Real distillate fuels usually contain thousands of hydrocarbon components. Over a wide
range of combustion conditions, large hydrocarbon molecules undergo thermal …

The acetone–butanol–ethanol (ABE) is the intermediate product during the bio-butanol
fermentation process, and is widely considered as one of the promising alternative fuels in …

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 …

This book has evolved from a lecture series (of J. Wa.) on combustion at stuttgart University.
The lectures were intended to provide firstayear graduate students (and advanced …

The generation by combustion processes of airborne species of current health concern such
as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and soot particles necessitates a detailed …
