Abstract:
A comprehensive review of diesel emissions models is presented together with assessments of the pertinent fundamental NOx and soot kinetics. The results of diesel emissions experiments carried out at Southampton are also presented and correlations are suggested. The review suggests that available emissions models do not incorporate a sufficiently detailed description of the fundamental mixing and chemical kinetic processes occurring in the diesel. They cannot therefore be used predictively. Suggestions are made for model development, fundamental data acquisition and the use of incylinder experimental techniques. The latter are required to obtain data on the flowfield and mixing processes occurring in the diesel combustion chamber.
This interim report presents the results of the first phase of a two-part program to investigate methods of improving fuel consumption and reducing ex...
Field tests of in-service modifications to improve engine efficiency and lower the emissions were performed on the no. 3 main diesel engine of the USC...
