Modelling of soot formation in laminar diffusion flames using a comprehensive CFD-PBE model with detailed gas-phase chemistry [PDF]
A discretised population balance equation (PBE) is coupled with an in-house computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code in order to model soot formation in laminar diffusion flames. The unsteady Navier–Stokes, species and enthalpy transport equations and the

Effects of dielectric-barrier-discharge plasma on soot and NOx in diffusion flame
In this study, we experimentally investigated soot and NOx in a diffusion flame on a coaxial burner. By applying a dielectric-barrier-discharge (DBD) plasma, we tried to reduce these emissions.

Evaluation of the impact of black carbon on the worsening of allergic rhinitis and asthma in the region of Uzice Serbia [PDF]
Many epidemiological studies have shown a positive association between black carbon (BC) concentrations and exacerbation of allergic rhinitis and asthma. The aim of this study was to examine, for the first time in Serbia, the connection between visits to

Classification of contaminants in diesel engine oils
Introduction. The deterioration of engine oil in an internal combustion engine (ICE) is directly related to the ingress of various pollutants into the crankcase. Depending on the type of contamination, the type of sediment on engine part surfaces varies.
