Benefits of Two Mitigation Strategies for Container Vessels: Cleaner Engines and Cleaner Fuels

Cleaner Cars and Fuels

Advances in vehicle design and fuel quality mean cars can be made cleaner and more efficient. Lower emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulphur dioxide (SO2), particles (including the fine dust and soot PM10) and hydrocarbons (HCs) also known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) will lead to better urban air quality and less summertime smog. Lower emissions of carbon dioxi...

Cleaner Air, Better Performance: Strategies for Upgrading and Modernizing Diesel Engines

Directly actuated piezo injector for advanced injection strategies towards cleaner diesel engines

Low fuel consumption is one of the greatest merits of the Diesel engine, emission of nitrous oxides, NOx, and particulate matter, PM, are its most prominent disadvantages. For modern passenger car diesel engines, to achieve low fuel consumption targets, i.e. CO2 emissions, and to simultaneously fulfil the ambitious EU6 emissions legislation, a combination of intelligent injection strategies and...

Towards cleaner combustion engines through groundbreaking detailed chemical kinetic models.

In the context of limiting the environmental impact of transportation, this critical review discusses new directions which are being followed in the development of more predictive and more accurate detailed chemical kinetic models for the combustion of fuels. In the first part, the performance of current models, especially in terms of the prediction of pollutant formation, is evaluated. In the ...
