- Abstract
- The fractal behavior of soot agglomerates formed by the combustion of acetylene in coannular diffusion burner is studies. Structural data from electron micrographs were obtained by two methods: the first by particle counting with the aid of stereopairs from small clusters, and the second by electronic digitization with advanced image processing techniques, used for the larger agglomerates.
