Emissions from SI & Cl Engines and ts Control
Emission formation in $1. engines - Hydrocarbons - Carbon
‘monoxide - Nitric Oxide, Lead particulates ~ Polyneculear
aromatic hydro carbon emission ~ Effects of design and
‘operating variables on emission formation in spark ignition
engines ~ Controlling of pollutant formation in engines =
‘Thermal reactors ~ Catalytic converters ~ Charcoal Canister
Control for evaporative emission - Positive crank case
ventilation system for UBHC emission reduction,
Chemical delay - Significance - Intermediate compound
formation ~ Pollutant formation on incomplete combustion =
effect of operating variables on pollutant formation —
Controlling of emissions = Driving behavior ~ Fumigation -
Exhaust gas recirculation ~ Air injection ~ Cetane number
effect.
Emission Measurementand Test procedure
Measurement of CO, COz, by NDIR. Hydrocarbon by FID -
Chemiluminescent detector for NOx measurement, Smoke
meters - Dilution tunnel technique for particulate
‘measurement.
Procedures on Engine and Chassis, Constant Volume Sampling
procedures ~Emission Test- Sampling probes and valves =
Quantifying emissions -Dynamometers.
