Engineering systems such as gas turbines and internal combustion engines utilise gaseous fuels which produce toxic substances when they are burnt. Among these substances are solid soot particles and gas phase polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The link between soot and PAHs has long been established. Firstly, PAHs assemble themselves into larger structures which are the soot particles themselves...
The paper is concerned with particulate formation from the fuels oleic acid and methyl oleate. In particular the paper reports, quantitatively, the propensity of individual carbon atoms in these two molecules in being converted to particulate. The conversion of individual carbon atoms to particulate was traced by ‘labelling’ individual carbon atoms in those two fuel molecules with isotopic carbon-13...
Fuels are continuing to be derived from fossil sources, but as production technology improves, biofuels and synthetic fuels are expected to emerge as scalable long-term sources of liquid fuels. Efforts are being made to ensure that this next-generation of fuels is cleaner burning than the last. In order to inform the production and processing of cleaner burning fuels, more needs to be known about...
