High-pressure combustion facilities for soot studies

Laminar premix and diffusion flames could well sit in the high-pressure vessel (40 bar), which is well equipped with GC-MS, Soot-PLII, PAH-PLIF, OH-chemiluminescence, multi-angle light scattering, and absorption techniques. The experiment outcomes contribute to understanding soot formation and soot morphology in the fuel reforming process, internal combustion engines, and gas turbines operating at elevated pressure.
