Overview

Johnson (engineering mechanics, Michigan Technological University) presents the latest research and development findings that will help guide engineers to achieve low particulate emissions in diesel engines. Based on extensive Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) literature from the past seven years, the 45 papers in this book have been selected from the SAE Transaction Journals. After an overview of particulate and NOx reduction strategies, there is material on measurement techniques and fundamental considerations, aftertreatment controls, fuel and additive effects, and modeling of traps. There is no subject index. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Synopsis

The need for manufacturers to meet U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) mobile source diesel emissions standards for on-highway light duty and heavy duty vehicles has been the driving force for the control of diesel particulate and NOx emissions reductions. Diesel Particulate Emissions: Landmark Research 1994-2001 contains the latest research and development findings that will help guide engineers to achieve low particulate emissions from future engines. Based on extensive SAE literature from the past seven years, the 45 papers in this book have been selected from the SAE Transactions Journals.
