چکیده

There is uncertainty about average and peak levels of radioactivity to which some people are being exposed. Radioactive materials cause harm only when not enough antioxidants are present to soak up the extra electrons (energetic free radicals; oxidative stressors) induced by radioactive particles. Radiation is like a submolecular fire. There is a temperature above which even the best fire resisting protective barrier fails. So it is with radioactivity.

An Experimental and Theoretical Study of the Effects of Excess Air Ratio and Waste Gate Opening Pressure Threshold on Nox Emission and Performance in a Turbocharged CNG SI Engine

Turbocharged CNG engines produce high NOx emission due to the fuel type and high combustion temperature. In this research, the effects of lean-burn and waste gate opening pressure threshold on NOx emission are studied theoretically and experimentally at WOT condition as well as 13-mode ECE-R49 test cycle. A code is developed in MATLAB environment for predicting engine NOx and the results are va...
