Inverse Electron Demand Diels-Alder Reaction on M<sub>3</sub>N@C<sub>80</sub> (M=Lu, Sc): Reactivity and Reversibility Enable Chemical Separation of Metallofullerenes. [PDF]
An inverse electron demand Diels–Alder (IEDDA) reaction on M3N@Ih‐C80 (M=Lu, Sc) has been utilized to yield [5,6]‐closed [4+2] cycloadducts that were fully characterized (HPLC, MS, UV/Vis and NMR spectroscopy, X‐ray crystallography, and DFT calculations).

Soot particle size distribution reconstruction in a turbulent sooting flame with the split-based extended quadrature method of moments [PDF]
The Method of Moments (MOM) has largely been applied to investigate sooting laminar and turbulent flames. However, the classical MOM is not able to characterize a continuous particle size distribution (PSD). Without access to information on the PSD, it is difficult to accurately take into account particle oxidation, which is crucial for shrinking and ...

Experimental and numerical study on the effect of oxymethylene ether-3 (OME3) on soot particle formation [PDF]
The reduction and control of particulate matter generated by fossil fuel combustion are among the main issues for actual and future combustion devices due to the increasingly stringent emission regulations. Recently, various fuels have been investigated as a potential substitute or additive for diesel and gasoline. This work focuses on how oxymethylene

Soot-figures on Ceilings [PDF]
MAY I suggest a distinct, if not an alternative cause for Prof. E. B. Poulton's soot figures in NATURE, April 27th? The ceiling plaster is very porous, except where it is in contact with the joists, etc. At such points very little deposit occurs compared with the spaces where the hot air is vigorously diffusing through into the cold space above.

Conditional moment closure modelling of soot formation in turbulent, non-premixed methane and propane flames [PDF]
Presented are results obtained from the incorporation of a semi-empirical soot model into a first-order conditional moment closure (CMC) approach to modelling turbulent, non-premixed methane–air and propane–air flames.

On the Response of Nascent Soot Nanostructure and Oxidative Reactivity to Photoflash Exposure
Soot particles are a kind of major pollutant from fuel combustion. To enrich the understanding of soot, this work focuses on investigating detailed influences of instantaneous external irradiation (conventional photoflash exposure) on nanostructure as ...

Modelling of soot formation in laminar diffusion flames using a comprehensive CFD-PBE model with detailed gas-phase chemistry [PDF]
A discretised population balance equation (PBE) is coupled with an in-house computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code in order to model soot formation in laminar diffusion flames. The unsteady Navier–Stokes, species and enthalpy transport equations and the

Soot formation characteristics in hybrid pyrolysis of zero-carbon fuel ammonia and ethylene mixtures
As soot particles from incomplete combustion of fossil fuels pose a great threat to human health, the development of low-carbon or zero-carbon alternative fuels is essential to mitigate climate change. An experimental and numerical study on the pyrolysis

Determination of the Soot Mass by Conductometric Soot Sensors
AbstractSoot sensors are required for on-board diagnostics (OBD) of automotive diesel particulate filters (DPF) to detect filter failures. If installed upstream of a DPF, the “engine-out” soot emissions can be determined by conductometric soot sensors.
