Three way catalysts based on mixed oxides for the treatment of the exhaust gases of internal combustion engine Ghent University
Removal of particulate matter and nitrogen oxides from exhaust gases by photo-assisted catalysis KU Leuven
Particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) emitted from power plant or mobile vehicles are responsible for air pollution and ever more stringent emission limits are proposed. Removal of particulate matter and NOx from diesel exhaust gases is currently achieved via a diesel particulate filter (DPF) and a NOx reduction catalyst (NOx storage and reduction catalyst (NSRC) or selectively catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst). Particulate matter ...
Study on the impregnation procedures to prepare catalytic complexes for the treatment of motorbike's exhaust gases Ghent University
Effect of emulsified fuels based on fatty acid distillates on single cylinder diesel engine performance and exhaust emissions Ghent University
Influence of adding low concentration of oxygenates in mineral diesel oil and biodiesel on the concentration of NO, NO₂ and particulate matter in the exhaust gas of a one-cylinder diesel generator University of Antwerp
Air quality currently poses a major risk to human health worldwide. Transportation is one of the principal contributors to air pollution due to the quality of exhaust gases. For example, the widely used diesel fuel is a significant source of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM). To reduce the content NOx and PM, different oxygenated compounds were mixed into a mineral diesel available at the pump, and their effect on the composition ...
Collective excitations of superfluid Fermi gases near the transition temperature University of Antwerp
Studying the collective pairing phenomena in a two-component Fermi gas, we predict the appearance near the transition temperature T-c of a well-resolved collective mode of quadratic dispersion. The mode is visible both above and below T-c in the system's response to a driving pairing field. When approaching T-c from below, the phononic and pair-breaking branches, characteristic of the zero temperature behavior, reduce to a relatively low ...
Examining gender-linked vehicle emissions with a GPS-enabled data collection tool Hasselt University
This paper describes the development and application of an activity-based data collection tool for the assessment of gender-linked vehicle exhaust emissions. The developed methodology implies the collection of activity and travel data on a PDA (personal digital assistant) with built-in GPS receiver. By converting the GPS-based travel data into emissions, good estimates can be made of the exhausts produced by every vehicle trip in the travel ...
EGR control on operation of a tar tolerant HCCI engine with simulated syngas from biomass Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In combined heat and power plants operated with biomass syngas, the removal of condensible tars is a necessary but expensive step (up to one third of the installation and maintenance costs). This step is required because the syngas has to be cooled down to avoid knocking in the spark ignition engines traditionally used in such plants. To remove the tar condensation problem, we developed an alternative system based on an Homogeneous Charge ...
Experimental comparison of two fin geometries for cast iron air preheaters Ghent University
Large installations in which heat is generated via the combustion of fossil or renewable fuels, such as boilers, furnaces, and gas turbines, are an important aspect of the production industry. Due to the everincreasing concerns over climate change and the rising energy prices, increasing the efficiency of these installations is a top priority. In an air preheater, the incoming combustion air is preheated with recovered heat from the exhaust flue ...
