Temperatures of soot particles in flames were also measured by a modulated LⅡ technique. The presence of an annular flame inside increased the flame temperature at the soot formation region and resulted in the increase of PAH and soot concentrations. The maximum soot volume fraction, however, was decreased mostly due to the rapid oxidation of soot particles at the soot oxidation region. The addition of an inverse diffusion flame inside of an annular flame significantly decreased PAH and soot concentrations all over the flame. The oxidation of soot precursors including PAH as well as significantly increased flame temperature due to the flame-flame interaction could be the primary reason for the decreased soot volume fraction with annular and inverse diffusion flames inside.Read More
