Soot surface growth and oxidation in laminar diffusion flames at pressures of 0.1–1.0 atm

Modification of sooting tendency by magnetic effects

“…0.87, into the experimental profile soot oxidation starts prevailing, potentially due to higher levels of OH radicals [5]. Yet, these radicals also exhibit relatively high magnetic susceptibility.…”

“…Oxidation mainly proceeds through the removal of carbon atoms from soot particles, by reaction with O 2 and OH radicals [4,5]. While O 2 is considered the most important species in the soot oxidation process, the role of OH radicals is more controversial.…”

“…Conducting numerical simulations, Frenklach [4] stated that oxidation by OH radicals is relatively weak, while Kim et al. [5] showed that these radicals are highly soot-oxidising species.…”

Radiation effects on combustion and pollutant emissions of high-pressure opposed flow methane/air diffusion flames

“…Kim et al [20] recently reported measurements of soot surface growth and oxidation rates in laminar diffusion flames between pressures of 0.1 and 1.0 atm. In addition, these authors provided an excellent review of the current state of knowledge gained from a very vast body of experimental and computational literature reported in the past.…”

Simulation of soot formation in turbulent premixed flames

“…Measurements [5,6] and modeling studies [7][8][9][10] have addressed the physical and dynamical processes of soot formation from the initial gas phase species. Determination of soot inception, the location in the flame zone where it occurs, and the conditions under which it begins is complicated by the fact that many of the PAHs that contribute to the soot formation process, and many of the species (and the reactions) involved in the chemical reactions leading to soot formation, are still unknown [11].…”
