What is Sooting Tendencies of Nonvolatile Aromatic Hydrocarbons about?
We have measured sooting tendencies of 72 nonvolatile aromatic hydrocarbons, only five of which have been previously reported in the literature. The tested compounds include long-chain alkylbenzenes up to tridecylbenzene, methyl-substituted benzenes, naphthalenes, biaryls, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) with up to four rings. Sooting tendency was defined as the maximum soot concentration f v,max in a methane/air coflow nonpremixed flame with 5-80 ppm of the aromatic added to the fuel. The f v,max were converted into Yield Sooting Indices (YSI's) by the equation YSI = C \* f v,max + D, where C and D are constants chosen so that YSI-2-heptanone = 17 and YSI-phenanthrene = 191. The aromatics were dissolved in 2-heptanone and added to the fuel mixture with a syringe pump. Soot concentrations were measured with laser-induced incandescence (LII). The burner and fuel lines were heated; time-resolved soot measurements verified that all of the test compounds were quantitatively transmitted to the flame without losses to the walls. The uncertainties in the results range from ±3 to ±10%.
