The particles emitted from diesel engine exhaust have low resistivity and extremely small in the range of 70-120nm. An electrostatic precipitator (ESP) has been extensively used for the collection of these particles. A two-stage ESP using charging section and collection section has been installed for the collection of diesel particles and improving the visibility index in road tunnels. The char...

Absorption: The mechanism by which acoustic energy is converted into heat by friction in absorptive media. See Pack. Airborne: A noise that is transmitted by the atmosphere and can be heard outside the car. Air Cleaner Housing: The housing that retains the air filter and forces the route of combustion air through the filter medium. Air Filter: The medium that eliminates the major particulate fr...

A vibroacoustic signal of an internal combustion engine contains several diagnostic information, which are for the most part not utilised since they require complex processing methods in order to separate useful data and to eliminate disturbances. The way of analysis of such complex signal depends on the diagnostic aim. It is a rich source of information not only concerning the combustion proce...

Small diesel engines are widely used for commercial vehicle and passenger car applications due to their higher torque requirements, fuel economy, and better thermal efficiency. These engines are exposed to different operating and environmental conditions and hence emissions from these engines are erratic. Strategies are required to enhance performance and reduce engine-out emissions considering...

Stringent emission legislation all over the world has led to the search for alternative fuels for I.C. Engines. In this context, experiments were carried out to evaluate the exhaust emissions and combustion characteristics with a conventional diesel engine (CE) and ceramic coated low heat rejection (LHR) diesel engine [with ceramic coated cylinder head] with different operating conditions [norm...

Due to the large contribution of the coldstart process to unburned hydrocarbon emissions of an internal combustion engine during FTP cycle tests, we take a new look at the production of hydrocarbons inside the combustion chamber during coldstart. To this end a model is developed which predicts the exhaust port hydrocarbon concentration, exhaust gas temperature and equivalence ratio based on a s...

Control of automotive exhaust emission has become an important research area to meet the more stringent automotive emission regulations. Beside the modification on internal combustion engine, control engineering is seen as another approach to improve and meet these requirements. This paper focuses on the design and development of a control system to reduce the harmful waste of automotive exhaus...

Engine noise is mainly from exhaust noise. Without adding muffler, at a certain speed, the noise up to 100 decibels. Reduce engine exhaust noise, and to high-temperature exhaust gas can be safely and effectively. Muffler as part of exhaust pipe, should ensure that the exhaust flow, resistance and sufficient strength. This research takes an exhaust silencer as a study object, and a muffler sound...

in this study it has been tried, to compare results and convergence rate of sensitivity analysis and conjugate gradient algorithms to reduce fuel consumption and increasing engine performance by optimizing the timing of opening and closing valves in xu7/l3 engine. in this study, considering the strength and accuracy of simulation gt-power software in researches on the internal combustion engine...

Data obtained from Nary calibration tests of an 18-cylinder, two-row, radial engine of 8350-cubic-inch displacement and a 14-cylinder, two-row, radial engine of 2600-cubic-inch displacement {carburetor types) were analyzed to show the correlation between the air consumption of these engines and the parameters that evaluate the air consumption from intake-manifold temperature and pressure, exhau...
