Oxidation/pyrolysis chemistry as related to fuel scooting tendencies

The relationships between flame studies of the sooting tendencies of various hydrocarbon fuels and chemical mechanisms derived from flow reactor experiments have been developed. The mechanisms for the oxidation of benzene and butadiene, in particular, have been related to both sooting premixed and diffusion flames despite the large difference in basic flame structure. A recently developed soot formation mechanism has provided the linking framework between chemical mechanism and observable sooting tendencies. The same framework has permitted the application of flow reactor based chemical models to the prediction and explanation of the effect of oxygen addition on sooting diffusion flames.
