Recent Advances in Soot Formation from Spherical Droplet Flames at Atmospheric Pressure

Recent developments pertaining to the spherically symmetric combustion of sooting fuels are discussed. The spherical droplet e ameis well suited forstudying soot formation in droplet combustion because ofthesimplicity of thetransportprocessthatresultsfromaone-dimensionalcombustionprocess.Recentadvancesinnewexperimental designs for forming and deploying droplets in a low-buoyancy environment are revealing effects that have gone unnoticed in early...
