Hygroscopic growth and droplet activation of soot particles: uncoated, succinic or sulfuric acid coated [PDF]
The hygroscopic growth and droplet activation of uncoated soot particles and such coated with succinic acid and sulfuric acid were investigated during the IN-11 campaign at the Aerosol Interaction and Dynamics in the Atmosphere (AIDA) facility.

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.

Emission of ions and charged soot particles by aircraft engines [PDF]
In this article, a model which examines the formation and evolution of chemiions in an aircraft engine is proposed. This model which includes chemiionisation, electron thermo-emission, electron attachment to soot particles and to neutral molecules ...

Internally mixed soot, sulfates, and organic matter in aerosol particles from Mexico City [PDF]
Soot particles, which are aggregated carbonaceous spherules with graphitic structures, are major aerosol constituents that result from burning of fossil fuel, biofuel, and biomass. Their properties commonly change through reaction with other particles or

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 the Optical Properties of Soot Particles under Various Aging Conditions
As atmospheric fresh soot particles age, they become coated with other chemical species. This transforms their physicochemical properties and affects their optical characteristics, which is of great importance to air quality, the environment and climate ...

Comparative nanostructure analysis of gasoline turbocharged direct injection and diesel soot-in-oil with carbon black [PDF]
Two gasoline turbocharged direct injection (GTDI) and two diesel soot-in-oil samples were compared with one flame-generated soot sample. High resolution transmission electron microscopy imaging was employed for the initial qualitative assessment of the ...
