Dioxins – the Uncontrolled Toxic Content of Exhaust Gases from Ic Engines
نویسنده
چکیده
It is found that the chemical composition of exhaust gases emitted by IC reciprocating engines includes not only such harmful toxic substances as NOx, CH, PM and CO but also dioxins. Dioxins are characterized by incredibly destructive impact on human health. In the paper a short profile of dioxins, terms of dioxin formation and measures for their reduction are presented. Some experimental data concerning dioxin emission from the road transport is also involved.

This paper reports a CFD modeling study on the possibility of using high temperature and low oxygen content exhaust gases as oxidant for combustion in an industrial furnace by a written computer program. Under these conditions,the predicted results for the flow and heat transfer properties are compared with those under the several cases of conventional and highly preheated...
متن کاملEffect of Contact Pressure and Frequency on Contact Heat Transfer Between Exhaust Valve and its Seat
The hot gases produced by the internal combustion engines passes through the exhaust valve and causes high temperatures in the exhaust valve and its seat. To avoid damaging the exhaust valve, heat must be transferred from the valve to its seat during the contact they make at the opening and closing cycle. Heat transfer rate from the exhaust valve to its seat is a function of many factors. One o...

متن کاملThe effect of a novel hybrid nano-catalyst in diesel-biodiesel fuel blends on the energy balance of a diesel engine
In internal combustion engines, only about a third of the total fuel input energy is converted into useful work. If the energy rejected into the cooling system and the exhaust gases could be recovered instead and put into useful work, fuel economy would have been substantially improved. The main aim of this research paper was to evaluate the effects of the hybrid nano-catalyst containing ce...
