The sooting tendencies of various fuel blends containing either single-ring or polycyclic aromatics have been studied in a model gas turbine combustor at a pressure of 1.0 MPa and varying values of air/fuel ratio. Sooting tendencies were determined by flame radiation, exhaust soot, and infra-red absorption measurements. The results of this study have indicated that, even for fuels containing high concentrations of naphthalenes or tetralins (> 10 percent v), fuel total hydrogen content correlates well with fuel sooting tendency. The present results are explained by a hypothesis that assumes that the majority of soot is formed in regions of high temperature, low oxygen content, and low fuel concentration, e.g., the recirculation zone.
