Soot particle temperatures in co-flow diffusion flames have been measured using a two-color pyrometry at the pressure of 0.2 MPa(2 atm). The measured soot particle temperatures along with the integrated soot volume fractions are analyzed to understand soot formation characteristics. At 0.2 MPa, the addition of small amount of air into ethylene do not change the soot particle temperature in soot formation regions. This result showed that the increase of soot formation with addition of air is mostly due to the chemical effect of the added air, such as the increased role of C3 chemistry during the early stage of soot inception process. The addition of sufficient air into ethylene, however, changes soot particle temperatures and the understanding of soot formation characteristics becomes complicated. Measured soot particle temperatures also showed that there is no significant temperature effect for the synergistic effect of ethylene/propane mixture on soot formation.

The characteristics of soot vaporization induced by a high-energy Pulsed laser were studied in an ethylene-air laminar flame. A system consisting of two pulsed lasers was used for the experiments. The pulse from the first laser was used to vaporize the soot particles, and the delayed pulse from the second laser was used to measure the residual soot volume fraction. Laser-induced soot vaporization was characterized according to the initial particle size distribution. The results indicated that soot particles could not be completely vaporized simply by introducing a high intensity laser pulse. Residual soot volume fractions present after vaporization appeared to be insensitive to the initial soot particle size distribution. Since the soot vaporization effect is more pronounced in the region of high soot concentrations, this laser-induced soot vaporization technique may be a very useful tool for measuring major species in highly sooting flame.

The soot formation characteristics of various alkane-based single fuel droplets were studied in this work. Also, This study was performed to provide the database of the soot behavior and formation of alkane-based single fuel droplet. The experimental conditions were set to 1.0 atm of ambient pressure ($P_{amb}$), 21% of oxygen concentration ($O_2$) and 79% of nitrogen concentration ($N_2$). Combustion and soot formation of single fuel droplet was visualized by visualization system with high speed camera. At the same time, ambient pressure, oxygen concentration and nitrogen concentration were maintained by ambient condition control system. Soot formation characteristics was analyzed and compared on the basis of intensity ratio ($I/I_0$) of background image. The results of toluene fuel droplet showed the largest soot generation. Soot volume fraction ($f_v$) was almost the same under the identical fuel types regardless of various initial droplet diameter ($d_0$) since thermophoretic flux was not much changed under the same ambient conditions.

In order to clarify the characteristics of soot formation and oxidation in-cylinder of a diesel engine, it is necessary to diagnose accurately for combustion of in-cylinder. The past techniques for soot measurement have limitations in providing the characteristics of soot in a diesel engine, whereas, laser-based 2D imaging diagnostics have the potential to provide better temporally and spatially resolved measurements of the soot distribution. We rebuilt an optically accessible diesel engine which is similar to the conditions of a conventional engine and tried to measure soot distribution in a cylinder of the diesel engine using laser induced scattering(LIS) and laser induced incandescence(LII). Some results were acquired in this study. LIS and LII signal that show soot distribution of a in-cylinder were taken by ICCD properly. The signal of LIS was intenser than that of LII. Although they have some differences of signal intensity in early combusion period, both of signals show that they are generally similar in late combustion period, after ATDC 50 degree.

Soot formation and oxidation characteristics of air-diluted propane diffusion flames have been experimentally investigated under the elevated pressure conditions. PAH concentrations showed more pressure sensitive behavior comparing to soot volume fractions. The flame/soot temperatures in soot oxidation region were obtained using the MOLLIP technique. Under the complete soot oxidation environment, the flame/soot temperature is increased with pressure. The increased temperature could accelerate the soot oxidation process and then exothermic oxidation reaction, in turn, could further raise the flame/soot temperature, which would result in the enhancement of soot oxidation process.

Characteristics of PAH and soot formation in coflow diffusion flames of methane, methane, propane, and ethylene have been experimentally studied to investigate the temperature and fuel structure effect on soot formation. PAH and soot images were acquired by applying PAH LIF and LII techniques, respectively and temperature was measured using R-type thermocouple. Direct photographs of soot particles have also been taken by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) through a thermophoretic sampling. Comparison of PAH and soot formation between the aliphatic fuels has shown the importance of fuel structure effect in diffusion flames.

Soot and harmful exhaust gas produced by liquid hydrocarbon fuel caused various environmental problems. In this study, soot characteristics produced by thermal decomposition of acetylene and diesel were analyzed, which are formed at different temperatures. These fuels were observed to produce particulate matters, and collected soot samples were observed by using TEM & SEM. These were found to be significantly different in structure and crystallinity.

An experimental study for characteristics of soot were conducted at the post-flame region in jet diffusion flames, where carbon dioxide was used as additives in oxidizer stream. Light-extinction method was performed using He-Ne laser with wave length at 632.8nm for the measurement of relative soot density and soot volume fraction with dimensionless extinction coefficient, $K_e$ and mass specific extinction coefficient, ${\sigma}_s$. To increase of resolution, laser light was modified for sheet-form using concave, convex lenses and slit. C/H ratio was introduced for quantitative analysis of soot growth which is expressed by carbonization and dehydrogen. Also transmission electron microscopy(TEM) was used for observation of morphological shape. The results show that the relative soot density in the post-flame region was lower when carbon dioxide was added in oxidizer stream because of reduction of flame temperature.

Characteristics of carbon soot particles generated in diffusion flames were studied. Non-sooting and sooting normal diffusion flames using propane or ethylene as fuel were selected. In the flames, soot volume fraction was measured by a thermocouple, and primary particle diameter and cluster size were analyzed by TEM photographs. The characteristics of soot particles depended on flame(non-sooting or sooting) and fuel(propane or ethylene) type. Unlike the sooting diffusion flames, particle growth and oxidation processes were clearly observed in the non-sooting diffusion flames. In the sooting diffusion flames, soot particle size was slightly changed at the flame tip.

Experimental measurements of flame structure and soot characteristics were performed for ethene inverse diffusion flames (IDF). IDF has been considered as the excellent flow field to study the incipient soot because soot particle do not experience the oxidation process. In this study, LIF image clarified the reaction zone of IDF with OH signal and PAH distribution. laser light scattering technique also identified the being of soot particle. To address the degree of soot maturing, C/H ratio and morphology of soot sample were investigated. From these measurements, the effect of flow residence time and temperature on soot inception could be suggested, and more details on soot characteristic in the IDF was determined according to fuel dilution and flame condition. The fuel dilution results in a decrease of temperature and enhancement of residence time, but the critical dilution mole fraction is existed for temperature not to effect on soot growth. Also, the soot inception evolved on the specific temperature and its morphology are independent of the fuel dilution ratio of fuel.
