Abstract
For soot formation elucidation of mechanism, a Monte Carlo simulation model considering the rate of particle formation and particle size growth rate was constructed. As for particle size growth reaction, sintering of the particles was considered. The relation between particle sintering rate and particle aggregation rate was obtained. In addition primary particle size distribution was predicted. In order to discuss the validity of the model, the soot formation experiment by the benzene pyrolysis was carried out. Soot primary particle size distribution was measured and compared with numerical results. As a result of the comparison, the necessity of particle sintering rate considering the particle viscosity with change of the soot structure was shown.
