Measured soot volume fraction profiles are combined with the modeled temperatures, velocities, and mixture fractions in an axisymmetric laminar diffusion flame to derive local soot formation rates. The flame is modeled by solving transport equations for momentum, mixture fraction, and enthalpy toget

β¦ Synopsis
A simple model has been developed for the prediction of soot volume fractions in a laminar diffusion flame. Measurements and computations of a counterftow flame have been used to evaluate the correlation between soot surface growth rates and the mixture fraction or fuel atom mass fraction. An average particle number density was used to permit the determination of the aerosol surface area. Equations for the momentum, mixture fraction, and soot volume fraction were solved numerically for an axisymmetric laminar diffusion flame. Good agreement was obtained with the measurements for two different experimental conditions.

A simplified model of soot formation, based on a laminar flamelet approach and developed, in earlier studies, with a view to subsequent turbulent flame prediction, is extended to include oxidation. The model is evaluated against detailed measurements in a two-dimensional laminar diffusion flame on a
Experiments have been performed on laminar diffusion flames of mixtures of water and hydrocarbon vapor of different compositions with the mole fractions of water ranging up to about 0.9. The soot emission from the flame decreased steadily with an increase in water concentration; concurrently, there
The oxidation of soot in a laminar diffusion flame has been studied experimentally by examining the characteristics of soot particles using laser light scattering. The kinetics mechanisms of oxidation by O2 and OH have been analyzed. The concentrations of OH radicals have been measured by laser-indu
