2. 1. Particulate Flows in Aftertreatment Systems

   Author : Henrik Ström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Modeling; Computational fluid dynamics; Exhaust gas aftertreatment; Particulate matter; Multiphase flow; Particulate flow;

   Abstract : Emissions from internal combustion engines contain many components that have a detrimental effect on the environment and on human health, such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM). In addition, the final product of any combustion of fossil fuel - carbon dioxide (CO2) - contributes to global warming. READ MORE

4. 2. Multiscale methods for the fundamental understanding of diesel soot mitigation

   Author : Carl Justin Kamp; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Nanofabrication; Catalyst; Soot; Aftertreatment; Carbon; Particulate Matter; Oxidation; Ash; Diesel Particulate Filter;

   Abstract : Current regulations for diesel exhaust emissions cannot be met by engine improvements alone, and for this reason the diesel particulate filter (DPF) is a widely used aftertreatment component for the control of diesel particulate matter (PM). The DPF functions by trapping PM and destroying it by oxidation. READ MORE

5. 3. On Reduction of Nitrogen Oxides in Heavy-Duty Engines : with NOx Model Feedback, PPC and SNCR

   Author : Kenan Muric; Förbränningsmotorer; []
   Keywords : aftertreatment; emissions; Engine simulation; engine modeling; SNCR; PPC Engine;

   Abstract : European emission legislation has in recent years put a strict limit on NOx emissionsfrom heavy-duty truck engines. EGR and selective catalytic reduction are the two mostcommon technologies applied in a modern heavy-duty diesel engine to fulfill the legislation. READ MORE

6. 4. Flow Maldistribution in Exhaust Aftertreatment Systems - Numerical Simulations

   Author : Pratheeba Chanda Nagarajan; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Catalyst; Flow maldistribution; Transient; CFD Simulations; Reactive flows; Uniformity Index; Exhaust AfterTreatment Systems;

   Abstract : To comply with the stringent emission norms under every driving condition, including the coldstart conditions and Real Driving Emissions (RDE) tests, accurate models that capture the spatial and temporal variation of flow distribution information in Exhaust AfterTreatment Systems (EATS) are required. This study is aimed at characterizing and quantifying flow distribution in EATS under transient conditions with realistic geometry that illustrates the complex nature of the flow conditions.

7. 5. Modelling of Catalytic Monolith Reactors for Exhaust Aftertreatment

   Author : Magnus Walander; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; diesel oxidation catalyst; effective diffusivity; washcoat; EATS; gravimetric analysis; parameter estimation; synthetic catalyst activity test; Exhaust aftertreatment modelling; scanning electron microscope;

   Abstract : The incomplete combustion of liquid or gaseous fuels in the internal combustion engine inherently produces several toxic emissions that need to be  removed. This is done through a series of catalytic converters, referred to as the exhaust aftertreatment system (EATS), each catalyst with its own purpose. READ MORE
