A Numerical Investigation of the Effects of Piston Bowl Geometry and Spray Angle on Combustion, Performance and Emission of a Diesel Engine

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
A piston bowl's design and spray angle improve air‐fuel mixing, resulting in more complete combustion and higher efficiency. Ansys Forte 2023 R1 a CFD software was used to analyze the effects of five combustion chamber geometries of cylinder, modified re‐entrant, re‐entrant, double‐stepped, and stepped on engine performance, combustion, and emission ...

A study on the influence of inorganic ions, organic carbon and microstructure on the hygroscopic property of soot [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
Soot is a crucial component of aerosols in the atmosphere. Understanding the hygroscopicity of soot particles is important for studying their role as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) as well as their chemical behavior and atmospheric lifetime.

Elucidating the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons involved in soot inception

Communications Chemistry, 2023
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are the main precursors to soot particles in combustion systems. A lack of direct experimental evidence has led to controversial theoretical explanations for the transition from gas-phase species to organic soot clusters.

Local Structures of Se and Br in Cretaceous–Paleogene Boundary Sediments and Concentration Effects of Ferrihydrite Originating From Impact Ejecta

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
Chemical states of Se and Br atoms in the KPg boundary sediments from Stevns Klint were studied using XAFS spectroscopy. The high concentrations of Se4+ could become an index of the degree to which the global environment was soiled with dust and ash derived from impact ejecta or volcanic eruptions.

Endohedral fullerenes as qubits: From synthesis to quantum computing applications

InfoMat, EarlyView.
Endohedral fullerenes emerge as promising platforms for qubits and qudits. This review surveys the primary synthesis routes, from arc‐discharge to high‐yield molecular surgery. It then details spin manipulation and readout in key systems, including metal‐based, cluster, and nitrogen‐containing fullerenes.

Disparate evolution mechanisms and optical absorption for transboundary soot particles passing through inland and sea pathways [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
Soot particles, as a type of warming aerosols, play a critical role in climate warming. During transport, these particles undergo atmospheric condition-dependent aging processes that influence their microphysical and optical properties.

Models of DG‐Carbon Bands in Raman Spectra: Effects of Basis Functions and Initial Values on the Uniqueness and S/N of Fits Obtained for Atmospheric Aerosol Using Automated Methods

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
Raman spectra containing D/G features are fit using combinations of basis functions and initial conditions. Fits with two Lorentzian functions converged to a single optimized fit even with variation of initial peak positions. For five‐band fits, sometimes the final fit varied with initial conditions, and constraints on peak center position were ...

Comparison of Preparation Methods of Copper Based PGMFree Diesel-Soot Oxidation Catalysts [PDF]

, 2011
CuO-CeO2 systems have been proposed as a promising catalyst for low temperature diesel-soot oxidation. CuO-CeO2 catalysts prepared by various methods were examined for air oxidation of the soot in a semi batch tubular flow reactor. The air oxidation of

Bio‐Derived Carbon Nanoparticles: A Green Amendment for Alleviating Heavy Metals in Soil–Plant Systems

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heavy metal (HM) contamination of soil–plant systems poses persistent ecological and health risks, driving interest in nanoparticle‐based remediation. Although conventional chemically synthesized nanoparticles (CSNPs) are effective, their energy‐intensive production and residual toxicity limit sustainable deployment.
