Since 1970, vehicle’s exhaust pollutions have received increasing attention as a source of air pollution at both local (human health concerns) and global (global warming) scales. This study mainly discusses diesel and gasoline vehicles because, today, over 90% of vehicles on the road use gasoline and diesel fuels. The major concerns of gasoline exhaust contaminants are carbon monoxide (CO), hyd...

Since its beginning, more than 117 years ago, the compression-ignition engine, or diesel engine, has grown to become a critically important part of industry and transportation. Public concerns over the health effects from diesel emissions have driven the growth of regulatory development, implementation, and technological advances in emission controls. In 2001, the United States Environmental Pr...

More than half the European passenger fleet is diesel-powered. Although the European Union has been progressively tightening vehicle emissions for decades, new diesel cars still produce on-road nitrogen oxide emissions that far exceed the current standard. Efforts to reduce diesel emissions would likely make the cars more costly, but experts say it can—and should—be done.

Model predictive control represents one of the most promising methods, also in fast industrial applications like a Diesel engine. But especially Diesel engine control meets problems of uncertainties and disturbances, thus model-plant mismatch is omnipresent, which obviously decreases the performance of model based control. This paper compares different robust predictive control strategies appli...

BACKGROUND Particulate pollution is associated with the occurrence of asthma and allergy. The model pollutant, diesel exhaust particles, can participate with allergens in starting and exacerbating allergic airway diseases in part by production of reactive oxygen species. Glutathione-S-transferases (GSTs) can metabolise reactive oxygen species and detoxify xenobiotics present in diesel exhaust p...

An innovative concept called “Flexy developing at 2iE. This concept aims to produce electricity cost by smartly mix different available energy to the load profile of the region. With a higher solar irradiation and due to the fact that Diesel generator are massively used in sub Saharan rural areas, PV/Diesel hybrid syste application of this concept and a good solution to electrify this region, p...

The main objective of the research is to compare the accurateness of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Multiple Linear Regressions (MLR) model for Specific Fuel Consumption for pyrolysis oil blended with diesel used in a single cylinder diesel engine. In this study, parameters i. e. Injection Timing, Injection Pressure, Compression Ratio, and Load are taken. Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) ...

A large number of non-stationary dynamic signals are generated in the working machinery and equipment. Especially, diesel engines often encounter non-stationary transient and time-varying modulation signals, such as the impulse response signals caused by cylinder piston wear. These kinds of signals generated from diesel engine are analyzed by the method of the Local Wave time-frequency proposed...

The combination of the remote-area-diesel generators with a battery storage and renewable energy source such as photovoltaic (PV) can greatly overcome the problems of these generators. In this paper a PV/Diesel generator hybrid energy system is sized to meet the load for about 100% availability. Where, for a given load characteristic and a given diesel generator a methodology is developed to op...

● Diesel Filter Regeneration Abstract: Diesel particulate filters capture particle emissions through a combination of surface-type and deep-bed filtration mechanisms, such as diffusional deposition, inertial d positi , or flow-line interception. Collected particulates are removed from the filter, continuously or periodically, through thermal regeneration. Diesel filters are very effective in co...
