Abstract
The underlying mechanism associated with increased oxygen levels in the yet fuel-rich, soot-forming regions is associated with C5 ring formation, leading to the observed curvature in the lamellae of the soot, using HRTEM. Laboratory studies using a premixed flat flame burner under varied equivalence ratios tested this hypothesis using a surrogate jet fuel for which chemical kinetics can be calculated in addition to the actual (jet) fuels. HRTEM results of sampled soot showed curvature with partial premixing with the FT fuel, and absence of curvature with the aromatic fuel with φ as the operative variable, thereby supporting the hypothesis. Comparative results from partially premixed gas-jet and Bunsen-style flames are reported for comparison.
