AE403 AUTOMOTIVE EMISSION & CONTROL
Objective of the Course:
This subject gives an idea about the various kinds of pollution caused by the automobiles(emissions,
noise,vibrations etc.,), the various ways of detecting,measuring these pollution and controlling it.
UNIT I
Introduction: Emissions - sources of emission, effect of pollution on human health. Emission norms
- Euro & Bharat emission regulations and emission test cycles.
UNIT - II
Emissions From SI and CI Engines: Emission formation in SI and CI engines causes for
emissions, engine modifications to reduce emissions, role of fuels in engine emission, effect of fuel
properties and additives on emissions, emissions from LPG, CNG, alcohols, bio fuels.
UNIT - III
Emission Measurement and Control Techniques: Crank case emission control, fuel evaporation &
control, EGR, intake temp control, air injected exhaust, thermal reactors, SCR, catalytic converters
types, catalytic mechanism, tuning of mechanical systems - A/F ratio control. NDIR analyzer, flame
ionization detectors, chemiliuminescent analyzer, smoke meters, gas chromatograph.
UNIT - IV
Noise Control: Identification of noise sources, quantification, control of air borne noise - use of
noise absorber, barrier, different materials, criteria for the selection of materials, control of structure
borne noise - treatments for vibration damping materials for hood liner and head liner, resonance and
ill effects of resonance. Characteristics of vehicle noise, sources of vehicle noise, engine noise,
techniques for locating and measuring engine noise, engine noise control techniques, inlet and exhaust
noise mechanism and control, noise from cooling system, transmission noise and tyre noise. Anechoi
chamber.
UNIT - V
Vibration Control: Introduction, vibration analysis, sources of vibration, damping of vibration,
rubber mountings, vibration isolation and absorption. Constrained and extensive layer dampings.
Engine and drivetrain vibrations, vehicle and chassis vibration. Application of plastics and composites
in automobiles.
