Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The topics most critical to exhaust gas aftertreatment are described in depth: the problems which need to be overcome, and the possible solutions currently under investigation. After treatment is covered as an emissions subject in its own right; and all components of the entire system are included, not just catalysts. Highly technical issues are presented in a way that makes them readily accessible to the non-specialist. It Includes 700 references. Dr Eastwood is a mechanical engineer with approximately fifteen years of experience in research and development. He is a graduate of University College, Swansea, UK and was a Royal Society post-doctoral research fellow at the Institute for Physical and Theoretical Chemistry, Tubingen, Germany. He has worked at the Ford Research Laboratory, Michigan, USA and as an oxygen sensor development engineer for Robert Bosch in South Carolina. He is currently a diesel engine development engineer at Ford's Research and Engineering Centre, Essex, UK. Book News Annotation:Reviewing the major technical issues on tailpipe standards from an
applications and systems perspective, British mechanical engineer
Eastwood describes where current aftertreatment fails, what new types
are now under research, and how aftertreatment can most effectively
be integrated into a vehicle's powertrain. His study pivots on eight
specific problems currently faced by the automotive industry that
must be solved or circumvented if air quality goals are to be met.
After reviewing the exhaust environment, he discusses such topics as
diesel particulate filters and oxidation catalysts, aging in
catalysts and oxygen sensors, the cold-start problem, and fuels. His
references emphasize the most recent works. Distributed by Taylor &
Francis.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Synopsis:Many nations are still falling short of air quality goals, and consequently their governments are enacting tougher emissions legislation than ever before. This book reviews the major technical issues involved in meeting this legislation by aftertreatment, the most effective weapon in the engineer's armory against automobile pollution. Featured in this book are topics critical to exhaust aftertreatment, including the problems which need to be overcome, and the possible solutions currently under investigation. Aftertreatment is covered as an emissions subject in its own right and all components of the entire system are also included, not just catalysts. There are highly technical issues presented in a way that makes them readily accessible to the non-specialist. Description:Includes bibliographical references (p. 301-372) and indexes.
