Traffic-related sources have been recognized as a significant contributor of particulate matter particularly within major cities. Exhaust and non-exhaust traffic-related sources are estimated to contribute almost equally to traffic-related PM10 emissions. Non-exhaust particles can be generated either from non-exhaust sources such as brake, tyre, clutch and road surface wear or already exist in ...

In this paper, a recurrent fuzzy-neural network (RFNN) controller with neural network identifier in direct control model is designed to control the speed and exhaust temperature of the gas turbine in a combined cycle power plant. Since the turbine operation in combined cycle unit is considered, speed and exhaust temperature of the gas turbine should be simultaneously controlled by fuel command ...

The effects of spark timing and exhaust valve timing change on exhaust gas temperature during cold start of an SI engine are studied through engine bench tests. It is observed that the exhaust gas temperature increases when the spark timing and valve timing are retarded individually or simultaneously, due to late combustion or slow flame speed. However, using COVimep it is also investigated tha...

INTRODUCTION A smooth driving style that reduces the unnecessary consumption of gasoline and emission of exhaust gases by avoiding rapid acceleration and sudden braking has been recommended in recent years as a response to the growing severity of global environmental problems. Manufacturers of the latest environmental vehicles are also taking the initiative Makoto Yamakado, Dr. Eng. Junya Takah...

and Implications Odor control for swine facilities has focussed on storage and the land application phases of manure handling. A third component, ventilation exhaust air, has received little attention. This research was targeted at reducing odor emitted from ventilation exhaust air by filtering odor carrying dust particles. The ultimate objective is to develop a system that could be implemented...

Atmospheric pressure non-equilibrium water vapour plasma technology was developed, tested and partly employed for fuel conversion and production of hydrogen-rich gas. The results of experimental investigation on plasma source characteristics dependent on the anode material and prevailing external factors are presented. The effect of plasma source anode material on the elemental composition of e...

With ever increasing concern on oil prices and energy conservation, there is a fast growing interest in hybrid vehicles globally. Currently, all hybrid vehicles, including micro, mild and full hybrids, adopt internal combustion engines which are inefficient in general. The corresponding waste heat of exhaust gas constitutes up to 40% of the fuel consumption. So, it is a pressing need for resear...
