Abstract
Laminar axisymmetric ethylene-air diffusion flames were studied at pressures from 0.1 to 1.0 MPa (1-10 standard atmospheres) in order to gain insight into the processes controlling the evolution of soot from such flames. Measurements of the attenuation of laser light across the flame diameter were used to characterize the volume of soot present in the flame. Data were acquired as a function of axial position above the burner port, allowing independent identification and examination of regions of soot formation and soot oxidation.
