AbstractEnergy consumption and pollutant emission aspects were ascertained for cars under traffic conditions: in cities, outside cities, on motorways and expressways, with the use of data from the inventory of emissions from road transport in Poland in 2018. The values of characteristics of energy consumption under model traffic conditions, as well as pollutant emissions and energy consumption of cars with internal combustion engines and cars with electric motors, constituted the basis for further analyses and conclusions about the characteristics of the vehicles under the study in terms of energy consumption and pollutant emissions. As a result of the research, it was found in the case of the use of electric drives, a very significant decrease in energy consumption—by 70% and the emission of non-methane volatile organic compounds—at the level of 90%. In the case of the emission of nitrogen oxides, there is a great advantage in relation to cars with compression-ignition engines, while the emission of nitrogen oxides from cars with spark-ignition engines is about two times lower. It was found that the emission of particulate matter for electric cars is about three times higher than for cars with compression-ignition engines and almost six times higher than for cars with spark-ignition engines. On the other hand, the impact on carbon dioxide emissions is small—less than 10%.

Barrier Coating

This paper explains the importance of applying thermal barrier coating (TBC) technique in internal combustion engines by providing an effective way of reducing gas emission which are carbon monoxide (CO), oxide of nitrogen (NOX), hydrocarbon (HC) including particulate matter (PM) thereby increasing engine performance (brake thermal efficiency) achieved by applying coating layers on some internal combustion engine parts using materials with low thermal conductivities and matched coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE close to the substrate material) which are mainly ceramics. Energy demand for various activities of life is increasing on a daily basis. The world depends majorly on non-renewable energy sources from fossil fuels to meet these energy demands. To be comfortable in life, better means of transportation and provision of power are required. Compression and spark ignition engines which are also called Internal Combustion Engines (ICEs) provide better transport facilities and power. However, combusting these fuels in automobile and stationary engines produces unfriendly atmosphere, contaminates water and air that are consumed by man. Pollution created as a result of combustion of gases in ICE is one of the worst man made contribution to atmospheric pollution.

Performance And Emissions

Abstract Background: Methanol is abundant, safe, and environmentally friendly and has physicochemical properties similar to those of gasoline. It is a promising alternative fuel in China because it can be directly used in both spark- and compression-ignition internal combustion engines. The current development of spark-ignition engines focuses on the reduction of the fuel volume and increase in the compression ratio (CR), which would benefit the engine’s thermal efficiency. However, increasing the CR may deteriorate particulate matter (PM) due to the high temperature.Methods: Herein, an experimental study was conducted on methanol–gasoline blends in a spark-ignition engine. We examined the performance and formaldehyde emissions of methanol–gasoline blends by using three volume fractions (M0, M15, and M100). In addition, the effects of the CR on PM emissions were investigated.Results: The following relationships were observed: (1) When methanol was blended with gasoline, the formaldehyde emissions increased significantly. The formaldehyde emissions of 100% methanol were higher than those of the methanol–gasoline blend with a methanol volume fraction of 15%; both of these emissions were higher than those of pure gasoline; (2) Increasing the CR resulted in increased PM emissions; (3) For a given blending ratio, the PM emissions were positively correlated with the CR; and (4) The PM emissions were negatively correlated with the methanol volume fraction.Conclusions: Methanol reduces the heat loss at the wall surface. As the ratio of methanol in gasoline increases, the PM emissions decrease. On the other hand, the PM emissions are positively correlated with the CR. The addition of lower alcohols dilutes the concentrations of soot precursors, thereby reducing the soot emissions.

The subject of the article is a synthetic lubricant for the latest generation internal combustion engines, used especially in passenger cars, equipped with both spark ignition engines and compression ignition engines, which is used in particular in passenger cars operating in urban conditions, overcoming relatively short distances, and therefore working usually below the recommended operating temperature of the engine. The developed 5W30 oil maintains excellent rheological properties (fluidity) also before reaching the correct operating temperature of the engine, especially at negative temperatures, which results in lower oil pump resistance and reduced friction of key engine components, which ensures better engine working conditions and affects its service life.

Ring Position

Particulate emission from internal combustion engines is a complex phenomenon that needs to be understood in order to identify its main factors. To this end, it appears necessary to study the impact of unburned gases, called blow-by gases, which are reinjected into the engine intake system. A series of transient tests demonstrate their significant contribution since the particle emissions of spark-ignition engines are 1.5 times higher than those of an engine without blow-by with a standard deviation 1.5 times greater. After analysis, it is found that the decanter is not effective enough to remove completely the oil from the gases. Tests without blow-by gases also have the advantage of having a lower disparity, and therefore of being more repeatable. It appears that the position of the “endgap” formed by the first two rings has a significant impact on the amount of oil transported towards the combustion chamber by the backflow, and consequently on the variation of particle emissions. For this engine and for this transient, 57% of the particulate emissions are related to the equivalence ratio, while 31% are directly related to the ability of the decanter to remove the oil of the blowby gases and 12% of the emissions come from the backflow. The novelty of this work is to relate the particles fluctuation to the position of the endgap ring.

Driving Cycles

This paper reviews the emissions of reactive nitrogen compounds (RNCs) from modern vehicles fitted with spark ignition en-gines and three-way catalysts. Specific aspects of the pollutants involved – and their formation – are discussed. Cold start driving cycles are scenarios under which emissions of all four RNCs can be significant; the mechanisms behind emissions trends are ex-plored. Experimental data obtained from two vehicles tested over two different cold start driving cycles are presented and analysed. The use of gravimetric and molar metrics are explored. Ammonia, a species which is currently not regulated for passenger cars in any automotive market, is identified as forming the majority of the RNC emissions over the entire driving cycle. While ammonia emissions are strongly linked to aftertreatment system warmup and periods of high load, significant ammonia emissions were also measured under certain hot-running, low load conditions, and even at idle. For the majority of the duration of the test procedures employed, the RNC profile was dominated by ammonia, which accounted for between 69% and 86% of measured RNCs in the ex-haust gas. Emissions are compared to the available legislative precedents (i.e. emissions limits currently in force in various jurisdic-tions). Finally, possibilities for control of exhaust emissions of currently unregulated RNCs are briefly discussed.
