* ABSTRACT Automotive emissions are severely regulated. Since 1980, a three-way catalyst (TWC) has been used to convert harmful emissions of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and oxides of nitrogen into less harmful gases in order to meet these regulations. The e ciency of conversion of these gases is dependent on the mass ratio of air to fuel (A=F ) in the mixture leaving the exhaust manifold and...

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 cerium...

Biodiesel extracted from Scenedesmus obliquus algae through transesterification was used in the current study. Due to disadvantages of using pure biodiesel engines, it as B50 (a blend 50% diesel and biodiesel). To enhance engine performance, n-pentane different extents 5, 10, 15 ml per liter an enhancer additive. Through performance tests, found that best addition caused increase brake thermal ...

In this paper combined Brayton–Rankine cycle was mathematically simulated. In the Matlab program package an adequate numerical procedure has been developed to determine the maximum thermal efficiency of the combined cycle limited by the temperature of exhaust gases at the entrance of the gas turbine and the temperature of the condensation of water vapour in the steam condenser. Furthermore, add...

The exhaust gases from an oil-fired hospital waste incinerator were examined during normal incinerator operation. The design-specified operating temperature was 800 degrees C in the primary combustion chamber and 1000 degrees C in the secondary chamber. Flue gas temperatures, measured from the sampling point at the base of the exhaust stack, varied over the range 186-305 degrees C, and bacteria...

soot and hydrocarbons are usually found in diesel exhaust gases. They are formed when the fuel is burnt out incompletely. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (Pah) are sorbed on the soot, and may cause cancerous diseases, asthma and other diseases. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the dependence of smoke opacity and amount of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in engine emissions on multi-co...

The theoretical substantiation was carried out for increasing the efficiency of converter gases afterburning in unit with a two­tier supply multi­pulse oxygen jets and combustion CO to 2 channel flow leaving reaction zone. authors made thermodynamic analysis process exhaust cavity when using lances refining. It is shown that gas are blown through upper­tier nozzles rate 10 – 40 % total minute r...
