Through ample research and vigorous evaluation, both short term and long term solutions have been identified. A brief synopsis of these solutions follows: |
|
The goal of this method is to allow for real-time measurement. With the flame ionization detection (FID) method, the exhaust gas is burned by a hydrogen flame and the particulate matter (PM) concentration is... |
|
The concept of this idea is directly derived from thermal fluids. Each material has a specific heat that tells how much it will heat up based on how much energy is put into it. The more material there is, the more difficult…. |
|
This idea uses the flow resistance of a segmented Diesel particulate filter. Filter flow resistance is expected to remain below a certain limit as to minimize the adverse effect of exhaust flow blockage, due to the …... |
