On the growth of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in a coflow diffusion flame of ethylene

In the last two decades several mechanisms have been proposed for the growth of PAHs during combustion. Studies have suggested that the growth of PAHs of different structures should be analyzed carefully to improve our understanding of PAH formation during combustion. In this study, a wide of range of PAHs of different structures have been measured along the centreline of a coflow diffusion flame of ethylene using GC/MS, allowing for a...
