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 …

The morphological characterization of aggregates or agglomerates using image analysis is
an increasingly active area of research, whether in the chemical, environmental or civil …

The climate models of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change list black carbon
(BC) as an important contributor to global warming based on its radiative forcing (RF) …

Soot from jet fuel combustion in aircraft engines contributes to global warming through the
formation of contrail cirrus clouds that make up to 56% of the total radiative forcing from …

The structure (size and morphology) of carbon black (CB) largely determines its
performance in tires, inks, batteries etc. Here, the impact of CB process synthesis variables …

The impact of organic carbon (OC) on the light absorption of soot is determined by discrete
element modeling coupled with the discrete dipole approximation for computing the …

For over a century, gas-phase (aerosol) technology has enabled manufacture of
nanostructured commodities (ie carbon black, fumed oxides and metals) at high …

The mass absorption cross-section (MAC) of combustion-generated soot is used in pollution
and emissions measurements to quantify the mass concentration of soot and in atmospheric …

The objective of the present paper is to develop a population balance approach for
modelling soot formation that distinguishes between coalescence and aggregation and …

Soot formation of n-heptane is experimentally and numerically studied in low-strain rate (K=
50 s− 1) counterflow soot formation (SF) flames. Flame temperatures and soot volume …
