• Adding subroutines to an existing FORTRAN77 MPI code which solves fully compressible form of momentum, total energy, and all species’ partial density equations in a temporarily developing reacting shear layer geometry incorporated with the Peng-Robinson real gas state equation, real property models, and generalized heat and mass diffusion. • Adding a reduced (29 step, 10 species) Kerosene/Air mechanism including a semi-global soot formation/oxidation model associated with an optically thin medium radiative heat flux model has been added to the same code to investigate soot formation/oxidation process in a temporarily developing hydrocarbon flame operating at both atmospheric and elevated pressures for a both real gas law (RGL) and the ideal gas law (IGL) equation of states (EOS),• Testing validity of the IGL EOS assumption on soot formation/oxidation processes in both atmospheric and elevated pressure Kerosene/Air shear flames with generalized diffusion,• Testing validity of the Unity Lewis (Le) Number assumption on soot formation/oxidation processes in both atmospheric and elevated pressure Kerosene/Air shear flames with simple Foruier and Fickian heat and mass flux equations,• Testing pressure effects on soot formation/oxidation processes in Kerosene/Air shear flames with varying ambient pressures from 1 atm to 35 atm for non-unity and unity Le number assumptions.

Basically, I had worked on an NSF funded project for a short period of time.
