Abstract

The combination of laser-induced incandescence and elastic light scattering has been further developed to allow for a quantitative two-dimensional determination of characteristic properties of soot aggregates, namely radius of gyration R g and number N p of primary particles per aggregate. In demonstrating the principle of the method, we have in a first approach approximated the particle ensemble as monodisperse and used a structure factor with an exponential cut-off function. Nonetheless, experiments performed on a laminar premixed ethene flame demonstrate basically good agreement with observations from literature and data from electron microscopy on thermophoretically obtained samples.
