The introduction of a diesel engine into the passenger car and light duty applications in the United States involves significant technical challenges for the automotive makers. This paper describes the SCR System optimization procedure for such a diesel engine application to meet Tier2 Bin5 emission regulation. A urea SCR system, a representative $NO_x$ reduction after-treatment technique, is applied to a 3.0 liter diesel engine. To achieve the maximum $NO_x$ reduction performance, the exhaust system layout was optimized using series of the computational fluid dynamics and the urea distribution uniformity test. Furthermore a comprehensive simulation model for the key factors influencing $NO_x$ reduction performance was developed and embedded in the Simulink/Matlab environment. This model was then applied to the urea SCR system and played a key role to shorten the time needed for SCR control parameter calibration. The potential of a urea SCR system for reducing diesel $NO_x$ emission is shown for FTP75 and US06 emission standard test cycle.

In this paper, the ventilation characteristics of an underground parking lot with 17 buses has been investigated for two cases by computational fluid dynamics. It has been found that the average concentration of CO and $NO_x$ gas in the parking lot were 1.3 and 0.3 ppm respectively, when four buses operated. When the fifteen vehicles stopped in the parking lot, the average concentration of CO and $NO_x$ gas was 2.9 and 0.8 ppm respectively. The average concentration of two pollutants$(CO,\;NO_x)$ are lower than the standard values. Therefore the facilities and its location is proper to ventilation.

The goals of this research are to understand the $NO_x$ emission in direct injected diesel engine with premixed hydrogen fuel. Hydrogen fuel was supplied into the test engine through the intake pipe. Amount of hydrogen-supplemented fuel was 70 percent basis heating value of the total fuel. The effects of intake air temperature on $NO_x$ emission were studied. The intake air temperature was controlled by flow rate of liquid nitrogen. The major conclusions of this work include : (i) the tested engine was run without backfire under 70 percent hydrogen fuel supplemented. (ii) radicals of nitrogen gas in the intake pipe were increased by 30 percent and cylinder gas temperature was decreased by 24 percent as the intake air temperature were changed from $23^{\circ}C$ to $0^{\circ}C$ ; and (iii) $NO_x$ emission per unit heating value of supplied fuel was decreased by 45 percent with same decrease of intake air temperature.

수소 기관에서 역화없이 고성능과 저$NO_x$를 실현시키기 위하여 밸브 타이밍 변화에 따른 흡기관 분사식 수소 기관의 성능을 파악하고 가솔린의 경우와 비교하였다. 그 결과 흡기밸브 타이밍은 역화억제와 성능향상에 큰 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다. 흡기밸브타이밍의 진각은 역화를 억제하며 효율과 출력을 동시에 향상된다. 비록 흡기밸브 타이밍 변화에 의해 NOx는 증가하지만, 희박영역인 출 ${\Phi}=0.5$에서 현저히 감소된다. 또한 열효율은 ${\Phi}=0.5$ 토크는 ${\Phi}=1.0$에서 가장 높게 나타난다. 흡기밸브 타이밍을 $ATDC20^{\circ}$에서 TDC로 변화시켰을 때, ${\Phi}=1.0$에서 토크는 약 28% 증가되고, ${\Phi}=0.5$에서 효율은 약 7%향상된다.

Water parsley(Oenanthe javanica(Blume) DC) was raised with varying population density(S) in the laboratory aquarium unit to determine the growth equation. The population density was measure after 7 days. The resultant growth curve was well fit to the equation 1/S = A+B (1/S0) with a high correlation coefficient ($R^2$ = 0.999). The maximum specific absorption rate was $9.011 \times 10^{-5}$ kg $NO_x-N/kg$ water parsley$\cdot$day and $1.31 \times 10^{-5}$ kg $PO_4-P/kg$ water parsley$\cdot$day when the average population density was $2.62 kg/m^2$. The relationship between population density and nutrient absorption rate, the absorption rate of $NO_x-N$ was 5.04~5.24 mg/l$\cdot$day when the population density was $7.51~10.0 $mg/m^2\cdot day$ and the absorption rate of $PO_4-P$ was 0.56~0.78 mg/l$\cdot$day when the population density was 5.02~10.0 $kg/m^2\cdot day$. Taking into account the nutrient absorption rate and growth rate, the population density between $7.0 kg/m^2\cdot day$ and $8.0 kg/m^2 \cdot day$ was selected. The removal rate of nutrient was investigated after 7 days culture. Removal rate of $NO_x-N$ was 95.6~99.95% with initial concentration of 35 mg $NO_x-N/l$, and the removal rate of $PO_4-P$ was also high, indicating 80.24~98.9% with initial concentration of 5.95 mg $PO_x-P/l$.

This study was performed to provide the basic information of the combustion, CO and $NO_X$ characteristics of biodiesel in accordance with equivalence ratio. The closed homogeneous reactor model used for the analysis. The analysis conditions were set to 900 K of the initial temperature, 20 atm of initial pressure and equivalence ratio was changes from 0.6 to 1.4. The results of analysis were predicted and compared in terms of combustion temperature, combustion pressure, CO and $NO_X$ emissions. The results of combustion characteristics showed that ignition delay was decreased and the combustion temperature and combustion pressure was increased in accordance with equivalence ratio. CO emission was decreased in lean condition(${\Phi}$ < 1.0), however, CO emission was increased in rich condition(${\Phi}$ > 1.0) because oxygen supply insufficient. $NO_X$ emission showed the largest amount in condition 0.8 of equivalence ratio because the oxygen concentration was sufficient.

Ti was deposited on the Al substrate using DC magnetron sputtering with changing the $N_2$ gas for the possible application of a solar absorbing layer. $N_2$ gas ranged from 50 to 75 sccm was systematically applied in the 5 sccm interval and the variation of the absorption rate was investigated. Microstructural examination and elemental analysis indicate that Ti was reacted with $N_2$ gas and formed $TiNO_x$ compound. As compared with the film without any exposure of $N_2$ gas, absorption rate improved by more than 20%. Typically the average absorption of $TiNO_x$ fim with 65% of $N_2$ gas was about 99% in the visible range, and the average absorption was more than 90% in the infrared absorption region respectively.

From the view of the environmental protection against the use of fossil fuels, the great of efforts have been exerted to find an effective method which is not only pollutant reduction but also high thermal efficiency. Reburning is a useful technology in reducing nitric oxide through injection of a secondary hydrocarbon fuel. In this paper, an experimental study has been conducted to evaluate the hybrid effects of reburning and selective non-catalytic reaction (SNCR) on $NO_x/CO$ reduction from oxygen-enriched LPG flame. Experiments were performed in flames stabilized by a co-flow swirl burner, which was mounted at the bottom of the furnace. Tests were conducted using LPG gas as main fuel and also as reburn fuel. The paper reported data on flue gas emissions, temperature distribution in furnace and various heat fluxes at the wall for a wide range of experimental conditions. Overall temperature in the furnace, heat fluxes to the wall and $NO_x$ generation were observed to increase by oxygen-enriched combustion, but due to its hybrid effects of reburning and SNCR, $NOx/CO$ concentration in the downstream has considerably decreased.

Recently, the automobile industry has been faced with very serious problems related to the very restricted regulations of exhaust gas emissions. Therefore many researchers have been attracted to the development of oxygenated fuel for a solution to these problems. This paper deals with the effects of oxygenated fuel on exhaust emissions. An experimental study was conducted to investigate PM and $NO_X$ emission using dimethyl carbonate as an oxygenated fuel in a naturally aspirated DI diesel engine. With increased oxygenated fuel amounts. there were significant reductions in PM, HC and CO emissions mainly from depressed thermal cracking. while little increase in $NO_X$ was encountered concurrently. The effective reduction in PM with oxygenated fuel was maintained with the presence of $CO_2$. which suggested low $NO_X$ and PM obtained from the combination of using oxygenated fuel and cooled EGR. Thermal cracking and an analysis of the heat release rate were also studied in the experiment.

Industrial wastewater with high ammonium concentration was treated in batch biological systems which was a modified Ludzack- Ettinger process. Up to 78% conversion of $NH_4\;^+-N$ to $NO_x\;^--N$ was achieved in batch culture condition. Under anoxic condition with methanol as the carbon source, the denitrifiers decreased $NO_x\;^--N$ concentration from 608 mg/L to 5.6 mg/L in 22 d. As well as anoxic denitrification of $NO_x\;^-$ to $N_2$, dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium also occurred under the condition as respiratory denitrification.
