“…Chemical reactions of the inception stage of soot formation have usually been discussed in conceptual and phenomenological terms (Bittner et al, 1983;Bockhorn et al, 1983;Calcote, 1981;1983;Glassman, 1979;Haynes and Wagner, 1981;Homann, 1985). Recently, a detailed chemical reaction mechanism describing a pathway to soot formation has been suggested (Frenklach et al, 1985a).…”

A detailed modeling study of the formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in a burnerstabilized low-pressure sooting 23.6 % C lH l -2L4% 02-Ar flame of Bockhorn and co-workers is reported. The model predicts the correct orders of magnitude and relative appearances of the concentration peaks, but overstates the decline of the species concentrations in the post-flame zone. Imprecise knowledge of the thermochemical data and unknown details of the oxidation of hydrocarbon radicals are the reasons identifed for the latter. The main reaction pathways for cyclization and growth of polycyclic aromatics and the results of the sensitivity tests are in close agreement with those of the previous modeling study of acetylene oxidation under shock-tube conditions. An additional factor that is important in the.flame environment is the diffusion of hydrogen atoms from the main reaction zone into a cooler preflame region.
