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

Many practical soot-emitting combustion systems such as diesel and jet engines rely on
diffusion flames for efficient and reliable operation. Efforts to mitigate soot emissions from …

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 …

Manufacturing of nanostructured materials and functional devices offers many exciting
opportunities for substantial contribution in renewable energy utilization, environmental …

Emissions of soot particles are solid products of incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons,
which is generally considered to induce serious inverse effect to environment and climate …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …
