An experimental study has been made to measure the size and the concentration profile of soot in a flame formed around a suspended fuel droplet by using a laser light scattering technique. The results indicate that the heavily sooting region is located fairly close to the droplet surface inside the

✦ Synopsis
A light scattering apparatus has been constructed and used to obtain polar diagrams of the intensity of light scattered from a premixed laminar benzene-air flame. The light scattering measurements, coupled with electron micrographs of the collected soot particles and an analysis based on a plausible system of soot particles within the flame, strongly indicate that the soot within the examined flame consists mainly of monodisperse spherical particles mixed with a small number-fraction of agglomerated units. Based on these results, the number fraction of agglomerated units is above five orders of magnitude less than the number fraction of the small ultimate soot particles.
