TL;DR: In this paper, the formation and growth of soot particles in a coannular diffusion flame have been studied using a laser extinction/scattering technique for particle size measurement, and the results reveal that the flame can be broadly divided into two regions.

TL;DR: In this article, an implicit methodology based on chemical group theory was used to formulate a jet aviation fuel surrogate by the measurements of several combustion related fuel properties, and the validity of the proposed surrogate was evaluated by experimental measurement of select combustion properties of POSF 4658 and the POSF4658 surrogate.

TL;DR: In this article, the formation, growth and burnout of soot particles in a series of ethene/air laminar diffusion flames is examined in order to understand the transport and growth of Soot particles in Laminar Diffusion Flames.

TL;DR: A methodology for the formulation of surrogate fuels for the emulation of real fuel gas phase combustion kinetic phenomena pertinent to gas turbine combustion is described and tested in this article, where a mixture of n -dodecane/ iso-octane/1,3,5-trimethylbenzene/ n -propylbenzenesene is formulated in a predictive manner to exhibit the same gas phase combustions of a target Jet-A fuel by the sharing of fundamentally significant combustion property targets in addition to a prescribed commonality of chemical kinetically controlling intermediate species.

TL;DR: In this paper, detailed species concentration profiles have been measured using optical and mass spectrometric methods in an atmospheric pressure methane air diffusion flame burning on a Wolfhard-Parker slot burner.
