Introduction

Pollutants - sources - formation - effects - transient operational effects on pollution. Introduction, Pollutants,

sources, formation of HC and CO in SI engines, NO formation in SI and CI engines, Particulate emission from SI

and CI engines, Smoke Emission in CI engines. Effect of operating variables on Emission formation

SI Engine Combustion And Pollutant Formation

Chemistry of SI engine combustion - HC and CO formation in 4-stoke and 2-stroke SI engines - NO formation in

SI engines - Particulate emissions form SI engines - Effects of operating variables on emission formation.

CI Engine Combustion And Emissions

Basics of diesel combustion. Smoke emission in diesel engines, NOx emission from diesel engines. Particulate

emission in diesel engines. Color and aldehyde emissions from Diesel engines. Effects of operating variables on

emission formation.

Post Combustion Treatment

Introduction, physical conditions and exhaust gas compositions before treatment, catalytic mechanism. Thermal

reactions, installation of catalyst in exhaust lines, NOx treatment in diesel engines. Diesel trap oxidizers

Control Techniques Engine Emission Reduction

Design changes - Optimization of operating factors - Exhaust gas recirculation - Fumigation - Air injection PCV

system - Exhaust treatment in SI engines - Thermal reactors - Catalytic converters - Catalysts - Use of unleaded

petrol.
