Composites of shape memory alloys (SMA) with a matrix have been widely studied to suppress the propagation of damage. In these studies, the SMA is used as an actuator. A multi-functional SMA as both sensor and actuator is suitable for constructing intelligent material, such as a material with a sensing and suppressing function. The damage of materials is related to the amount of strain. We studied the use of SMA wire parts as sensors to measure the amount of strain for damage estimation. The acoustic emission (AE) signals induced by phase tran ....etc

EMISSIONS REDUCTION USING HYDROGEN FROM PLASMATRON FUEL CONVERTERS
INTRODUCTION
Now-a-days, pollution has become a major threat to the Environment.
Vehicular exhaust(NOx,CO,HC etc…) are mainly responsible for the pollution.
PLASMATRON fuel converter technology is the new technique introduced in this field to reduce the concentration levels of emissions.
ABOUT PLASMATRON
Engineers have long known that adding hydrogen to gasoline makes an engine run cleaner and more efficiently.
In the mid-1990s, sci ....etc

abstract
This work presents the development of a simple analytical model of performance for heavy duty gas turbine
combustors and its use for the analysis of main emissions for a set of syngas fuels. This set of syngas fuels has
been selected as a wide representation of different compositions of syngas fuels, from fossil or vegetal
origins. Their combustion processes have been modelled as a set of chemical reactors in serial and a detailed
kinetic model, simulating a conventional diffusion flame combustor. In each slice, the thermo ....etc

REDUCED EMISSIONS OF OXIDES OF NITROGEN IN SHIP ENGINES

INTRODUCTION

Oxides of nitrogen emission from ship engines are significant on a global level. These emissions participate in the formation of photochemical smog and acid rain. Here we look at to some ways by which these emissions can be reduced.

Mechanism of NOx Formation in Diesel Engines.

At the temperature of the Burning of fuel spray (about 2000 K to 2500 K).
Nitrogen + Oxygen Oxides of Nitrogen

Abstract
The influence of the diesel particulate filter additives (DPA) SATACEN and EOLYS on biodiesel fuel quality has been evaluated. Both additives significantly affected the oxidation stability of neat biodiesel. The influence on acid values and CFPP was found to be only small. Combination of diesel additives with biodiesel additives like oxidation stability and CFPP improvers led to similar results. Results indicated that DPA also lowered the efficiency of the oxidation stability improver Baynox. Furthermore, the CFPP additives Chimec an ....etc

AUTOMOBILE EMISSIONS CONTROL AND MONITORING BY MONOPOLE MAGNETIC DEVICE AND REMOTE SENSING TECHNOLOGY
Abstract
Monopole magnetic device and Remote Sensing Technology (RST) are used to monitor and control automobile emissions to prevent the pollution and protect the environment. Monopole magnetic device reduces the level of noxious gases in exhaust fumes of vehicles. The carbon monoxide (co) level is reduced almost zero in the vehicles. It also claims a substational reduction in hydrocarbon emission in all the vehicles. T ....etc

ABSTRACT

This study looks at the relationship between traffic variables and carbon monoxide concentrations inside transit buses in Singapore. Speed, acceleration, road grade, and VSP were measured throughout the route using a GPS device. The data was compared to the carbon monoxide concentration in order to see what correlation could be obtained. Two routes were looked at in this study. Both are comm ....etc
