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 …

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 …

Alternative transportation fuels, preferably from renewable sources, include alcohols with up
to five or even more carbon atoms. They are considered promising because they can be …

The fundamental combustion and emissions properties of advanced biofuels are reviewed,
and their impact on engine performance is discussed, in order to guide the selection of …

As a promising carbon-free alternative fuel, ammonia (NH 3) cofiring with hydrocarbon fuels
can improve its own combustion properties and suppress the soot emission. In this work, the …

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) …

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 …

A soot model was developed based on the recently proposed PAH growth mechanism for C
1–C 4 gaseous fuels (KAUST PAH Mechanism 2, KM2) that included molecular growth up to …

Oxygenated fuels have been widely used in combustion engines to tailor fuel properties,
improve combustion performance and reduce harmful emissions such as soot particles …
