<p>The formation of soot emissions in combustion processes poses environmental and
efficiency problems which have long concerned scientists and engineers.
A Wolfuard-Parker burner was designed and fabricated, to study soot formation in
dual-mode diffusion flames, where the products of a lean premixed flame serve as oxidizer
to the eventual diffusion flame, simulating a droplet combustion environment in Diesel
engines.</p>
<p>
Experimental conditions were determined, and the whole burner assembly together .
with the laser diagnostic optics were set ready for experiments.
An experimental run with a single-mode flame served to confirm the calibration of
the optics and demonstrated the flame stability and uniformity.
Finally, recommendations for the future work were / Master of Engineering
