NO x emission model of turbofan engine

During last decade a lot of investigations also focused on the evaluation of aircraft engine impact on local and regional air quality in the vicinity of the airport. The emission inventory of aircraft engines are usually calculated on the basis of certificated emission indexes, which is provided by the engine manufacturer and reported in the database of ICAO. The certificated emission indices ...

Putting the Lid on Emissions - Food Engineering case study

While the aroma of a cooked steak may be enticing to some, residents near a cooked-meat facility did not appreciate it. Polarized Meat Company of Dunmore, PA produces high-quality meat products designed to reduce preparation time at restaurants. Certain products are preformed and pre-cooked, often with grill marks added to enhance the products' visual appeal and flavor. Both the incoming meat ...

Case Study: Odor Abatement Solutions

Odor issues related to industrial processes are not uncommon. An odor is caused by one or more volatilized organic compounds (VOCs) that humans can perceive by the sense of smell. The challenge is that “odor is subjective, and what is sweet to some, can be a nuisance to others. In most cases the ...

Emission Testing of Engines to be Installed in Non-Road Mobile Machinery

The European Commission has founded a project on emission testing – 'Emission Testing of Engines to be installed in Non-Road Mobile Machinery'. The project was undertaken by Abgasprüfstelle Berlin-Adlershof GmbH in Germany. The work is a part of emission inventory of spark-ignition engines to be used as a basis for a future amendment of the Directive 97/68/EC. The inventory covers seven different ...

Engine Testing

Engine testing involves measurement of rotating speed and torque of the engine by applying load controlled by a dynamometer connected to its output shaft. HORIBA has developed various types of dynamometer for the purpose of engine testing. They are mainly classified into two types; one is absorbing only dynamometer such as hydraulic dynamometers and eddy-current dynamometers, the other is ...

Exergy analysis of combustion characteristics and NOx emissions of a dual–fuel engine

The combustion characteristics and NOx emissions of compression ignition engines working on a dual fuel mode are investigated numerically and their exergetic efficiencies are determined. The model has been validated with available experimental results. The simulation results show that dual fuel engine combustion and trend of NOx ...

Forklift Emissions Analyzers

Forklifts are commonly used in warehouses of various size and capacity for the movement and shipping of goods; however, the unoptimized engines can produce excess quantities of silent and deadly CO gas that can risk the health and safety of the workers. When forklifts are brought in for service usually the CO gas isn't measured. If the CO gas isn't measured and the engine properly optimized then ...

Characterising emissions from private passenger vehicles using engine operating patterns

A method to simulate emissions factors using frequency distribution plots of engine speed and engine load is proposed. The distribution plots and corresponding emissions factors were developed from speed time series’ of real-world driving cycles and physical properties of a range of private passenger vehicles tested at the EMPA. Emissions factors were estimated for a set of simultaneously ...

Performance and emission characteristics of CI engine, fuelled with diesel and oxygenated fuel blends

Vegetable oils are a potential alternative towards partial or total substitution of diesel fuels. In this study, we used ethanol as the solvent, and a bio fuel enhancer as additive to explore the possible use of higher percentages of biodiesel in an unmodified diesel engine. Biodiesel was produced from cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) by pyrolysis process. A mixture containing 80% (by volume) of ...

Emission reduction methods and split fuel injection in a marine four-stroke engine

Abstract The new emission legislation for sea-going vessels issued by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) requires drastic reduction in exhaust gas nitrogen oxides (NOX), and the combination of different primary methods can be an interesting solution without increasing remarkably the machinery. In this paper, the Miller cycle and the dilution with exhaust gas ...

The emission characteristics of a compression ignition engine operating on castor oil methyl ester

Diesel vehicles are a major form of transportation, especially in developing countries. Recent concerns over the environment, increasing fuel prices and the scarcity of its supply have promoted interest in the development of alternative sources of petroleum fuels. In this investigation, castor oil methyl ester was prepared by transesterification using potassium hydroxide (KOH) as a catalyst and ...

A constant eye on emissions

Due to increasingly rigorous requirements for regulatory and permit compliance, organisations are seeking more from all compliance support systems. The ability to expand systems to encompass new, or migrate existing, regulatory calculations used to monitor environmental performance is vital. Planning strategically for a scalable and sustainable system has been shown to reduce overall compliance ...

Performance and exhaust emissions of a two-stroke spark-ignition engine with a direct-injection system

A direct fuel-injection system has been adapted to a small two-stroke spark-ignition engine to prevent the charge from flowing through the cylinder during the scavenging process. The injection system consists of a jerk-type pump and a single-hole nozzle which supplies gasoline to the cylinder. Engine tests were carried out for comparison with the carburettor version of the same engine. The ...
