The desire to penetrate into the mechanism of phenomena occurring in the luminous flame of methane from a gas engine, to answer many unclear questions, to obtain any generalized results requires clarifying the effect of soot dispersion and its concentration on the radiation (optical) properties of the flame using theoretical research. At the same time, the complexity of sampling soot from a methane flame creates certain conditions for assumptions about the possibility of spreading the spectral characteristics of massive carbon to soot in a flame. The paper presents studies on a number of carbon formation phenomena, taking into account data on the dispersion and concentration of soot, which can serve as the basis for obtaining more or less universal patterns for luminous flames. The issues considered in the paper are analyzed using the provisions of modern theories, taking into account experimental work performed using some particular results of the theory of a cloudy medium.
