Vehicle emissions control

REPORT ON LOWER CARBON EMISSIONS FROM MOTOR VEHICLES FOR THE FUTURE KARTIKEYA UPRETI Department of Aeronautical and Automotive Engineering Loughborough University ABSTRACT The ever increasing carbon emissions from the automobiles all around the world has forced the incorporation of novel , more sustainable means of non-conventional fuels for the automobiles like the hybrid cars , solar vehicles , the use of gasohol and alcohol based fuels is also considered as an alternative for the conventional

Over the post two decades, China has experienced a dramatic increase in auto ownership and use, with the number of privately owned vehicles increasing more than 70 fold in twenty years.In 2010, the number of privately owned vehicles showed a dramatically increased from 0.82 million in 1990 to 59.39 million in 2010.China Statistical Yearbook (2001 cited in Shun Feng, 2011). It caused more and more congested in major China cities. The government should put on the agenda. One issue is the people’s safety

the model as the key factors. These design variations gives a scale change in the emissions readings from the exhaust flow. The variations in design of proto-type turbulence modeling are listed in Table 1: S.No Turbulence Unit Model 1 Swirl Blades 2 Swirl Contour 3 Venturi Tube Figure 1 shows a schematic line diagram of the turbulence modeling of the exhaust system of the car to reduce the exhaust emissions. The various components of the improved exhaust model includes the exhaust header of

Investigation - Should the government consider taxing drivers per kilometre they drive as a strategy to reduce emissions in the atmosphere? Introduction: This investigation is about whether the government should consider reducing the use of motor vehicles to reduce the different emissions in the atmosphere. The government has considered charging people per kilometre they drive to help reduce emissions in the atmosphere. Instead of increasing the price of petrol/diesel/gasoline, they want to charge people

installing software that cheated on diesel emissions by the United States’ Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The software allows the vehicle to turn on the emission control when it is being tested in the laboratory, and turn off when the vehicle is under normal driving conditions on the road. The vehicle would be producing 40 times of pollution higher than the legal limit under the Clean Air Act. It means that once the software is turned off, the vehicle would be violating the Act. Under this incident

and specifically in Delhi.Due to increased traffic on roads, traffic movement is slow which forces vehicles to move in lower speed which reduces efficiency and emission level increases. Another cause of vehicular pollution is increase in number of diesel vehicles, which is also a major contributor to ai r pollution. According to Department of Transport of Delhi, there are more than 7.6 million vehicles on National Capital region and which grows at a target rate of 14% per annum. Due to air pollution

In the automotive world, efficiency and power are two elements of vehicle performance metrics that while important to many consumers and critics alike, appear to be elusive when in convolution with one another. In automotive history, good fuel efficiency equaled compromises in power and performance and vehicles with large displacements and torque usually had worse gas mileage. The exception to this rule were diesel engines, which managed to combine better efficiency than many four-cylinder gas engines

an coal and gas burning in order to control the emission from vehicles and factories. The rapid increase in the vehicle is the main reason for air pollution, It is anticipated that China has three times or seven times increase in the amount of vehicle. For instance, according to Shao, Tang, Zhang, Li 2006, in early 21century, the number of vehicles is 4 times what it was in the 1990s. A large population of cars made many cities suffer from terrible car emission. There several factors accounting for

record of 1,641,913 vehicles were sold up from 1,507,229 in 2014. Ford Motor Co. was among the top sellers with their sales standing at 237, 606” (Automotive News, 2016). The quality of automobiles in the USA has been improving thanks to the policies adopted by the government and the competition between players to produce quality vehicles. In America, the quality of a motor vehicle is defined regarding its specifications, durability, serviceability, conformance with emission standards, and user-friendliness

Lotus Rental Car 's - Alternative Fuel Vehicles COMM 215 LMH Instructor 6 December 2004 Alternative Fuel Vehicles As a quick statement prior to beginning this assignment I thoroughly enjoyed researching this topic. It has been of personal interest to me for years. I have, in the past (as far back as the 1970 's), invested my personal time researching designs and building prototypes, which utilize alternative fuels for vehicle propulsion and various mechanical motion applications with a practical
