Control of particulates from diesel engine exhaust gases

TL;DRAbstract

The aim of this project was to evaluate the suitability of two filtration methods for the exhaust gases emitted from a Diesel test engine. The two filtration methods considered were Cyclone technology and Fabric filter technology. Each method considered individually and conclusions were made at the end of the analysis as to which is most suitable for use.
\n
\nThe Hydrocarbon Fuel being burnt in the test engine is an approximate Diesel,Diethyloctane, an Isoparaffin(www.chevron.com) with the chemical make up C12H26.
\nIt is known that the engine burns with 20% Excess air, therefore the Stoichiometric chemical reaction will not be sufficient for evaluation of the exhaust emissions. The
\nlocal environment that the filtration method must operate within is fairly harsh and limiting for design. The Exhaust gas temperature is 177ºC (450K), therefore limiting
\nmaterial use for each filtration device. Another consideration is the nature of the gas entering the filtration d
