[1] We use tropospheric NO2 columns from the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (GOME) satellite instrument to derive top-down constraints on emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx NO + NO2), and combine these with a priori information from a bottomup emission inventory (with error weighting) to achieve an optimized a posteriori estimate of the global distribution of surface NOx emissions. Our GOME ...

conventional compression ignition (ci) engines are known for their high thermal efficiency compared to spark ignited (si) engines. gasoline because of its higher ignition delay has much lower soot emission in comparison with diesel fuel. using double injection strategy reduces the maximum heat release rate that leads to nox emission reduction. in this paper, a numerical study of a gasoline fuel...

[1] We used SCIAMACHY (10:00 LT) and OMI (13:30 LT) tropospheric NO2 columns to study diurnal and seasonal patterns in NO2 concentrations over India. Using characteristics of seasonal variability in tropospheric NO2 columns, we present a simple methodology to identify the dominant NOx source category for specific regions in India. Regions where the dominant source category is classified as biom...

Vehicle NOx emission regulations are becoming more and more stringent worldwide. A selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system which uses ammonia as the reductant to reduce tailpipe NOx emissions is widely adopted by Diesel engine applications. For SCR control, a NOx sensor is commonly used to monitor the emissions, however it has been discovered that NOx sensors typically are cross-sensitive to...

the purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of injection parameters on a heavy duty diesel engine performance and emission characteristics. in order to analyze the injection and spray characteristics of diesel fuel with employing high-pressure common-rail injection system, the injection characteristics such as injection delay, injection duration, injection rate, number of nozzle hole...

Nitric acid production plants emit small amounts of nitrogen oxides (NOx) to the environment. As the regulatory authorities demand the reduction of the resulting air pollution, existing plants are looking for economical ways to comply with this demand. Several Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) models were trained from several months of operating plant data to predict the NOx concentration in the...

[1] Surface NOx emissions are estimated by a combined assimilation of satellite observations of NO2, CO, O3, and HNO3 with a global chemical transport model. The assimilation of measurements for species other than NO2 provides additional constraints on the NOx emissions by adjusting the concentrations of the species affecting the NOx chemistry and leads to changes in the regional monthly-mean e...
