Stringent regulations governing automobile exhaust emissions are due to come into force i n the United States. Johnson Matthey have undertaken the development of platinum-based catalytic reactors for control of these exhaust emissions. Two new types of catalyst have demonstrated the feasibility of exhaust control by catalytic means, nnd have been incorporated on test vehicles to achieve emissio...

European regulations regarding exhaust gas emissions have constantly become more restricted in the last decades. Components of the exhaust gas after-treatment system and ECU strategies have become correspondingly more complicated in order to fulfil the prescribed limits. This paper describes how a real time HIL engine simulator can be used to test EOBD ECU strategies, in order to reduce the amo...

We investigated the circumstances of unintended carbon monoxide deaths from motor vehicle exhaust. Of 64 episodes involving 82 deaths investigated by the West Virginia Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, 1978-84, 50 occurred outdoors in older vehicles with defective exhaust systems and 14 occurred in enclosed or semi-enclosed home garages. Blood alcohol was detected in 50 (68 per cent) of 74 ...

The results from a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study on the effect of air supply diffuser type and exhaust location in a typical animal research laboratory are presented. The results show that low-level exhausts produce higher temperatures in the room and cages, but the best in-cage ventilation (lowest CO 2 concentrations) compared with ceiling or high-level exhausts. Further, the study ...

1. The possible carcinogenicity of diesel engine exhaust is a topic that the Industrial Injuries Advisory Council (IIAC) has had under review. In September 2015, it published an Information Note relating to lung cancer, bladder cancer and diesel exhaust emissions across a range of occupations.1 That Information Note set aside for separate consideration the case for prescribing under the Industr...

introduction: during the thirty years ago noise pollution increased quickly in the urbane communities that motorcycles are chief sources of noise. the objective of this study is reduction of noise emitted from motorcycle exhaust, applying engineering design. materials and methods: in this pre-experimental study, current condition of noise emitted from motorcycle exhaust and physical parameters ...

This paper reports improved performance of discharge plasma in filtered engine exhaust treatment. Our paper deals about the removal of NOX emissions from the diesel exhaust by electric discharge plasma. For the treatment of diesel exhaust a new type of reactor referred to as cross-flow dielectric barrier discharge reactor has been used, where the gas flow is perpendicular to the corona electrod...
