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 …

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 …

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

A reaction mechanism having molecular growth up to benzene for hydrocarbon fuels with up
to four carbon-atoms was extended to include the formation and growth of polycyclic …

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 reduced toluene reference fuel (TRF, n-heptane, iso-octane and toluene)-polycyclic-
aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) chemistry mechanism with 109 species and 543 reactions is …

A reduced PRF mechanism was proposed for combustion simulations of PRF and
diesel/gasoline fuels based on the latest LLNL mechanism. The reduced PRF mechanism …

A reduced chemical reaction mechanism was developed for modeling the combustion
process and soot emissions for both non-oxygenated and oxygenated hydrocarbon fuels. A …
