ABSTRACT:
The general scheme of conversion of hydrocarbon fuels with new
experimental data on the formation of fullerenes and graphenes taking into
account the pressure effect is proposed for the fuel-rich flames. It is shown that the formation of fullerenes is important to the
corresponding spatial orientation of PAH, possible at low pressures. The
formation of hydrophobic soot surface on silicon and nickel substrates during
combustion of propane-oxygen flame was studied. It is established that the
hydrophobic properties are due to the presence of soot particles in the form
nanobeads. The photovoltaic properties of solar cells coated by nickel oxide
nanoparticles synthesized in counter flow propane-air flame. It is revealed
that coated the surface of a silicon solar cell by nickel oxide nanoparticles
results in the increase in solar cell efficiency by 3%.
