Pollution Control Methods Used For IC Engines

The Pollution may be controlled by the following two ways.

1. The formation of Pollutants is prevented as far as possible.

2. The pollutants are destroyed after they are formed.

Control Of Hydrocarbons :

Formation Of Hydrocarbon may be reduced by the following methods,

1. Reducing the compression ratio.

2. Changing the design of Combustion Chamber.

3. Changing The design of piston.

4. By supplying lean mixture.

5. By maintenance of piston and piston ring

Destroying the Hydrocarbons can be done by following Methods,

1. By supplying air to the inlet manifold.

2. By using after burner.

3. By using catalytic converter.

Control Of CO :

Methods of reducing CO are,

1. By using closed loop control.

2. By supplying lean mixture.

3. Providing suitable overlap of valves.

Methods of destroying CO are :

1. By using reactor in exhaust manifold.

2. By using after burner.

3. By using catalytic converter.

Control of Oxides Of Nitrogen :

Methods of reducing oxides of nitrogen are as follows :

1. By supplying the exhaust gain to the inlet manifold.

2. By spraying water in the inlet manifold to add moisture to mixture.

3. By using catalytic converter in the exhaust, the oxides of nitrogen can be destroyed.

Control of Smoke and Smog :

1. Running the engine, with a limited load.

2. Maintaining the engine wall.

3. By adding barium salt in the fuel.

4. By using catalytic muffler.

Odor Control :

1. By using Catalytic Converter.

2. By changing the injection system in diesel engine.

ELECTRICAL COMPARATORS AND ITS WORKING

Electrical Comparators are used as a means of detecting and amplifying small movements of a work contacting elements. An electrical comparator consists essentially of a pick-up head or transducer for converting a displacement into a corresponding change in current and a meter or recorder connected in the circuit to indicate the electrical change, calibrated to show in terms of displacement. Generally, an amplifier is needed to provide the requisite sensitivity and to match the characteristics of different parts of the circuit. Electrical comparators can be classified according to the electrical principle used in the pick-up head. Most of the comparators use either a differential transformer, an inductance bridge, a strain gauge or a capacitor as a means of detecting movement of the gauging element. There are different types of electrical comparators. One kind called an electrolimit gauge is used to check or measure the outside diameter of a roll. The objec...

TOP POLLUTION RECORDED IN WORLD

CHERNOBYL NUCLEAR DISASTER (NUCLEAR POLLUTION) : In April 26,1986, the melt down of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor , in Russia, has leaked out the radioactive rays and radioactive materials. Effects : 1. In this Pollution nearly 2000 persons have been killed by the accident. 2. People suffered due to the illness such as, degeneration of the cells, severe bleeding, anemia, skin cancer. 3. Animals, Plants are also affected by nuclear radiation. MINAMATA EPIDEMIC (1953) : MARINE POLLUTION ( CASE STUDY ) Minamata is a small coastal village in Japan. The Chisso Chemical Company , which produces vinyl polymer plastics used organomercurial compound. The industry released its effluent into Minamata sea. The effluent containing mercury ions is converted into methyl mercury, which is highly toxic. The marine organisms like phytoplankton and zoo-planktons easily absorb the toxic methyl mercury compound. These organisms are consumed by small fishes and these are in ...

SIMPLE CARBURETOR - CONSTRUCTION AND WORKING

CONSTRUCTION OF SIMPLE CARBURETOR : The main Components of Simple Carburetor are : Float Chamber, float, nozzle, venturi, throttle valve, inlet valve, and metering jet . In the float chamber, a constant level of petrol is maintained by the float and a needle valve. The float chamber is ventilated to atmosphere. This is used to maintain atmospheric pressure inside the chamber. The float which is normally a metallic hollow cylinder rises and closes the inlet valve as the fuel level in the float chamber increases to certain level. The mixing chamber contains venturi, nozzle and throttle valve. The venturi tube is fitted with the inlet manifold. This tube has a narrow opening called venturi. A nozzle is provided just below the centre of this venturi. The nozzle keeps the same level of petrol as that of the level in the float chamber. The mixing chamber has two butterfly valves. One is to allow air into the mixing chamber known as choke valve. The other is to al...
