Abstract
Soot production in premixed flames of multicomponent fuels is modeled by combining (1) the experimental observation that for pure fuels the soot volume fraction varies exponentially with equivalence ratio, and (2) the assumption that soot production by each fuel component if independent of the presence of the other components, except in the sharing of the available oxidizer. Soot thresholds calculated from this model are in excellent agreement with available experimental data.Keywords
