Presidential Young Investigator Award: Formation and Oxidation of Carbon in Diffusion Flames

这项研究涉及到的形成，增长，并最终 扩散火焰中烟灰颗粒的氧化。 这项工作将有 实验和理论部分。 实验将是 在稳定的、平面的、逆流的、层流扩散火焰上进行。 所研究的参数将是燃料浓度和温度， 氧化剂浓度和温度以及压力水平。 的 理论工作将集中在模拟碳烟的形成和氧化， 低碳烟体积分数的极限。

This research is concerned with the formation, growth, and eventual oxidation of soot particles in diffusion flames. The work will have both experimental and theoretical parts. The experiments will be conducted on a steady, planar, counterflow, laminar diffusion flame. The investigated parameters will be fuel concentration and temperature, oxidizer concentration and temperature, and pressure level. The theoretical work will focus on modeling soot formation and oxidation in the limit of low soot volume fraction.
