The influence of biodiesel fuel on injection characteristics, diesel engine performance, and emission formation
Lešnik, Luka; Vajda, Blaž; Žunič, Zoran; Škerget, … - In: Applied Energy 111 (2013) C, pp. 558-570
The presented work focuses on numerical and experimental analyses of biodiesel fuel’s influence on the injection characteristics of a mechanically-controlled injection system, and on the operating conditions of a heavy-duty diesel engine. Addressed are mineral diesel fuel and neat biodiesel...

Multi-step-ahead prediction of NOx emissions for a coal-based boiler
Smrekar, J.; Potočnik, P.; Senegačnik, A. - In: Applied Energy 106 (2013) C, pp. 89-99
Until 2016 power plants within the EU will have to meet new limits on emissions as dictated by EU regulations. One of the major challenges is to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) due to health and ozone-formation concerns. Combustion optimisation is one of the primary measures for...

Development of a control-oriented model to optimise fuel consumption and NOX emissions in a DI Diesel engine
Molina, S.; Guardiola, C.; Martín, J.; … - In: Applied Energy 119 (2014) C, pp. 405-416
This paper describes a predictive NOX and consumption model, which is oriented to control and optimisation of DI Diesel engines. The model applies the Response Surface Methodology following a two-step process: firstly, the relationship between engine inputs (intake charge conditions and...

The effects of steam injection on the performance and emission parameters of a Miller cycle diesel engine
Gonca, Guven; Sahin, Bahri; Parlak, Adnan; Ust, Yasin; … - In: Energy 78 (2014) C, pp. 266-275
The application of the Miller cycle into the internal combustion engines is proposed to decrease NOx emissions, in the recent years. Another NOx control technique is the steam injection method (SIM). In this study, the application of these methods together into a single cylinder, direct...

Charging NOx Emitters for Health Damages: An Exploratory Analysis
Mauzeral, Denise L.; Sultan, Babar; Kim, Namsoug; … - Griswold Center for Economic Policy Studies, Department … - 2004
We present a proof-of-concept analysis of the measurement of the health damage of ozone (O3) produced from nitrogen oxides (NOx = NO + NO2) emitted by individual large point sources in the eastern United States. We use a regional atmospheric model of the eastern United States, the Comprehensive...

Development of a model for the prediction of the fuel consumption and nitrogen oxides emission trade-off for large ships
Larsen, Ulrik; Pierobon, Leonardo; Baldi, Francesco; … - In: Energy 80 (2015) C, pp. 545-555
The international regulations on fuel efficiency and NOx emissions of commercial ships motivate the investigation of new system layouts, which can comply with the regulations. In combustion engines, measures to reduce the fuel consumption often lead to increased NOx emissions and careful...
