Pollution Control

03/26/2008 5:28 AM

In my BE project I want to reduce pollution level of exhaust from engine. I have made three compartments in silencer in which Iwant to keep suitable chemical solutions. Kindly suggest me solutions for reducing NOx, CO, and particulate matter etc.

Dear ubp,

If you are studying to become a BE, I would have thought that you might be able to come up with some evidence that you are doing something yourself. To me, it seems that by simply asking others to provide the solution for the "solution", you escape all effort.

We all want to reduce exhaust emissions.

Some even want to become Bachelors of Engineering, but we all need to do some work to get there. Simply asking in a forum such as this, does not lead to skill development. So...even if I did know the answer, I probably would not tell you!!

Sorry about that

Skippy

A steel baffle that completely seals off the exhaust will reduce emmissions from the engine.

Hi, ubp mech@yahoo.com.in !

First of all, a great big WECOME to the CR4 family. I'm sure you are going to enjoy reading and participating in all the fascinating topics that capture your own interests in here, and we're looking forward to your participation.

The answers you found so far to your question have been posted because the question seems to read that you are asking us to do your work for you.

But this is probably not exactly correct, since for a very long time, catalytic converters containing rhodium, palladium, and platinum coated metals or ceramics have been doing the job of reducing CO and NOx in cars. Anybody can Google the information on pollution-reduction methods and materials, and Wikipedia probably has a big write-up on them (it does on almost everything else!)

And I'm certain you must know about this at the BE level, or even from your own general knowledge outside of school. So it's fair to point out that many strides have been made in the field. I could point you to a firm in the USA called Envirolift that removes all of the above plus hydrocarbons, benzines, etc. in their device., or a related one in Canada called Sparc~Air that can do the same for both ic and ec large-scale engines.

But I don't think (or at least I hope it's not the case) that you just want us to do your work for you. That would be terribly unwelcomed by engineers who want people who join their ranks to be able to think for themselves, and --as you have noticed-- you won't get any friendly answers if you are just asking others to do your thinking for you.

So why don't you re-word your request to tell us more exactly what you were thinking about --for example some advice on a comparitive study on several solutions you have come up with on your own; or perhaps how they might be best applied in your container, etc. etc., or whatever your considerations are up to this point; and how we might be able to offer you some good guidance?

Mark
