Mass spectrometric sampling of flames: how ionic equilibria in flames produce sampling falsifications and “fake” ions, but provide kinetic and thermodynamic data on the reaction occurring

TLDR
In this paper, it was shown that if a positive ion reacts exothermally in a reversible reaction with a time constant briefer than ≈ 0.5 µs, that reaction will be equilibrated early in the flame and if the orifice is small, the equilibrium will be just fast enough to shift position to that for a temperature reduced in both the thermal boundary layer around the inlet, and in accelerating to the speed of sound.

Charged Particles in Sooting Flames I. Determination of Mass Distributions and Number Densities in C2H2‐O2 Flames

Abstract: A combination of a nozzle beam sampling system with a simple mass discriminator (mass range 50 to 105 mass units) is described which allows to determine the mass distributions and number densities both of positively and negatively charged soot particles in low pressure flames. The application to slightly sooting C2H2 - 0, flames shows that a strong increase in ionization at the start of the soot forming zone is associated with a soot particle growth from a few hundred to about 2000 mass units. Ionizing soot particles can be distinguished from heavy hydrocarbon ions originating in the oxidation zone. Charged soot particles are smaller on the average than uncharged ones. The maximum number density of charged particles is strongly correlated to the amount of soot formed in the flame. The ionization potential of small soot particles is estimated to ∼5 eV.
