Soot Formation in Propane/Air Diffusion Flames

Article Preview

Abstract:

Soot formation and growth in propane/air diffusion flames in a wide range of mole ratio of propane to air from 0.01 to 0.1 have been studied experimentally and theoretically. The concentration of acetylene, soot yield and particle size have been measured and the growth of soot particle has been simulated from surface growth and nucleation processes. The rate coefficient of surface growth has been correlated with the mole ratio of propane to air and the comparisons of particle size between measured and calculated results have been made.
