  2. 21. Black Death - Blue Skies - White Clouds : Water Vapour Uptake of Particles Produced from Traffic Exhaust and their Effect on Climate

    Author : Cerina Wittbom; MERGE: ModElling the Regional and Global Earth system; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; CCN ACTIVATION; Soot; water vapour; climate; SOA; Traffic emission; Fysicumarkivet A:2017:Wittbom;

    Abstract : Aerosol particles are everywhere in the air around us, regardless of whether you are in a busy city or in the serene Arctic. Airborne particles can be produced naturally or anthropogenically, and their properties changes during the time they spend in the atmosphere. READ MORE

  4. 22. Reducing Diesel Engine Emissions - An Experimental Investigation

    Author : Arjan Helmantel; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Optical methods; Soot; Diesel; Emissions; HCCI;

    Abstract : In the recent past, the Diesel engine has been improved considerably in the areas ofperformance, fuel efficiency and exhaust emissions. In Europe, these improvements haveresulted in a strong increase in the sales of passenger cars equipped with a Diesel engine. READ MORE

  5. 23. Alkali-enhanced gasification of biomass : laboratory-scale experimental studies

    Author : Albert Bach-Oller; Kentaro Umeki; Viktor Scherer; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; alkali; biomass; gasification; tar; soot; potassium; char; syngas; enhanced; Energiteknik; Energy Engineering;

    Abstract : Gasification seeks to break carbonaceous materials into synthetic gas (CO+H2) which can be subsequently upgraded into valuable products. Thus gasification can be utilized to convert low grade biomass stocks into carbon-neutral chemicals heat and power. READ MORE

  6. 24. Fischer-Tropsch and FAME Fuels as Alternatives for Diesel Engines; an Experimental Study

    Author : Monica Johansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Emissions; SME; Fischer-Tropsch; NOx; Combustion; Alternative fuels; Soot; Biodiesel; RME; FAME; GTL; PME;

    Abstract : Research into alternative fuels is necessitated by our heavy reliance on limited oil reserves and increasingly strict emissions legislation. The studies reported in this thesis involved conducting engine tests using alternatives to fossil Diesel fuel in both heavy-duty and light-duty single cylinder engines. READ MORE

  7. 25. Sustainable Energy Conversion from Biomass Waste Combustion - Experimental and Multiscale Modelling Studies

    Author : Maulana Nugraha; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Stefan flow; particulate matter; biomass; combustion; soot; furnace; orthogonal collocation; CFD simulation;

    Abstract : The development of sustainable energy conversion via residual biomass combustion is one of the scientific and industrial community focus today to fulfilling the global net zero emission commitment in 2050. Despite its potency due to the abundant stock of biomass, hazardous particulate matter (PM) emission from residual biomass combustion remains a big challenge to increase the contribution of biomass combustion as a main renewable energy source.
