  2. 1. Investigation and Optimization of the Acoustic Performance of Exhaust Systems

    Author : Sara Elsaadany; Mats Åbom; Ray Kirby; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Exhaust systems; noise; pressure drop; 1D models; perforated mufflers; after treatment devices; optimization;

    Abstract : There is a strong competition among automotive manufacturers to reduce the radiated noise levels. One important source is the engine exhaust where the main noise control strategy is by using efficient mufflers. READ MORE

  4. 2. On the Agglomeration of Particles in Exhaust Gases

    Author : Ghulam Majal; Mihai Mihaescu; Mats Åbom; Mikael Karlsson; Lisa Prahl Wittberg; Henrik Ström; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Multiphase flow; DES; particulate matter; exhaust after treatment; particle agglomeration; Lagrangian particle tracking; Teknisk mekanik; Engineering Mechanics;

    Abstract : Particulate emissions from road transportation are known to have an adverse impact on human health as well the environment. As the effects become more palpable, stricter legislation have been proposed by regulating bodies. READ MORE

  5. 3. Corrosion of Stainless Steel in Diesel Exhaust Gas After-treatment Systems with Urea Injection

    Author : Johanna Nockert; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; urea; stainless steel; thermal cycling; High temperature corrosion; AES; XPS; condensate; SCR; diesel exhaust;

    Abstract : The demands on lowering the emissions from fossil fuel keep increasing. Together with higher demands of longer component lifetime and lighter vehicles for lower fuel consumption this has led to an increasing use of stainless steels in exhaust after-treatment systems. READ MORE

  6. 4. Deactivation of after-treatment catalysts for bio-fuelled engines

    Author : Johanna Englund; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Environmental catalysis; Cu-CHA; Vanadium; Supported palladium platinum; Biodiesel; Biogas; NOx reduction; Methane oxidation; Sustainable transports;

    Abstract : To decrease the emissions of anthropogenic CO2 from vehicles one option is to increase the utilization of biobased fuels. However, there are challenges with this transition, one being the mitigation of emissions of the potent greenhouse gas methane, which is the main constituent of biogas. READ MORE

  7. 5. Numerical modelling of particulate matter deposition in exhaust gas after-treatment systems

    Author : Ananda Subramani Kannan; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Immersed boundary method; DNS; Brownian motion; PM transformation and Rarefied gas; Nanoscales;

    Abstract : As urban air quality declines, the corresponding levels of particulate matter (PM), that include pollutants such as sulfates, nitrates and black carbon, rise posing the greatest risks to human health. Hence, the control of these particulate emissions constitutes a major global challenge that commands serious attention. READ MORE
