TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental and detailed chemical kinetic modeling work has been performed to investigate aromatic and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) formation pathways in a premixed, rich, sooting, n-butane-oxygen-argon burner stabilized flame.

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed chemical kinetic modeling has been performed to investigate aromatic and polyaromatic hydrocarbon formation pathways in rich, sooting, methane and ethane premixed flames.

TL;DR: In this article, an experimental and detailed chemical kinetic modeling has been performed to investigate aromatic and polyaromatic hydrocarbon formation pathways in a rich, sooting, ethylene-oxygen-argon premixed flame.

TL;DR: Experimental and detailed chemical kinetic modeling has been performed to investigate aromatic and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) formation pathways in a premixed, rich, sooting, propane-oxygen-argon burner stabilized flame as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The gas evolution, mass decay behavior and energy content of several woods, grasses, and agricultural residues were examined with steam and CO(2) gasification using thermogravimetric analysis and gas chromatography finding the likely mechanism is the ability for CO( 2) to enhance the pore structure, particularly the micropores, of the residual carbon skeleton after drying and devolatilization providing access for CO (2) to efficiently gasify the solid.
