Formation of Nitrogen Oxides
Nitric oxide is the major component of NOxemissions from the
internal combustion engines. During combustion, three probablesources of NO formation are:
(i) Thermal NO :
By oxidation of atmospheric (molecular) nitrogen at high
temperatures in the post-flame burned gases.
(ii) Prompt NO :
Formed at the flame front within the flame reaction zone.
(iii) Fuel NO:
Oxidation of fuel-bound nitrogen at relatively low
temperatures.

Thermal NO
NO is formed in the high temperature burned gases behind the flame front.
The rate of formation of NO increases exponentially with the burned gas
temperature although, it is slower compared to the overall rate of combustion.
Kinetics of Thermal NO FormationThe following three reactions commonly referred to as the extended
Zeldovichmechanism govern the formation of thermal NO:
(2.1)
(2.2)
(2.3)
k1, k2 and k3are the reaction rate constants for the forward reactions and k-1, k-2and
k-3are for the reverse reactions.
The original Zeldovichmechanism consisted of the first two reactions(2.1)
and (2.2) and the third reaction (2.3) was added by Lavoie.

In the flame reaction zone NO may be formed rapidly. The prompt
NO is formed in the flame by reaction of intermediate chemical species of
CN group with O and OH radicals. The hydrocarbon radicals CH, CH2, C, C2etc. formed in the flame front react with molecular nitrogen to give
intermediate species such as HCN and CN by the reactions shown below.
Large concentrations of HCN near the reaction zone in fuel rich flames have
been observed and rapid formation of NO has been seen to be associated with
rapid decay of HCN.
Prompt NO

Fuel NO
Fuel NO is formed by combustion of fuels with chemically bound nitrogen. The
fuel nitrogen produces at first intermediate nitrogen containing compounds and
reactive radicals such as HCN, NH3, CN, NH etc. These species aresubsequently oxidized to NO. Although petroleum crude may contain about 0.6
% nitrogen but gasoline has negligible nitrogen. Diesel fuels have higher
nitrogen content than gasoline, but this too is usually less than 0.1% by mass.
The fuel nitrogen therefore, does not make significant contribution to NO
formation in automotive engines operating on gasoline, diesel, natural gas and
alcohols etc.

FORMATION OF CARBON MONOXIDE
Carbon monoxide is formed during combustion of fuel-rich mixtures due to deficiency ofoxygen. Combustion of hydrocarbon fuels may be considered as a two-step processleading to complete combustion when carbon dioxide is the final product.
Step 1
Conversion of hydrocarbons to CO: oxidation reactions involvingintermediate species like smaller hydrocarbon molecules, aldehydes, ketones etc lead toformation of CO as schematically shown below are.
(2.28)
RH represents a hydrocarbon where R stands for the hydrocarbon radical
Step 2
Conversion of CO to CO2: when sufficient oxygen is available. Hydroxyl radical OH isone the principal oxidizing species and converts CO to CO2,
(2.29)
The reaction (2.29)is quite fast and is under equilibrium at high temperatures. In fact, thereactions involving C-O-H system may be taken in chemical equilibrium duringcombustion and large part of expansion stroke when temperatures are above 1800 K.

CO emitted is higher than the equilibrium concentrations corresponding to the
temperature and pressure conditions at the end of expansion. The calculations show that
until about 60 degrees after top dead centre, the burned gases are close to equilibrium.
However, late in the expansion stroke and during exhaust blow down on opening of the
exhaust valve as the gases cool down, the CO concentrations differ from the equilibriumvalue. The predicted CO levels at the end of expansion computed by equilibrium
considerations during early part of expansion and CO oxidation kinetics
( Reaction 2.29) in the later part of expansion correlated well with the experimental data
. These CO values may be considered as partial equilibrium values.
Detailed investigations have shown:
For rich mixtures (>1), the average exhaust CO concentrations are close to
equilibrium concentrations during expansion.
For near stoichiometric mixtures ( 1) exhaust CO is close to computed partial
equilibrium values. For lean mixtures the measured CO is higher than the computed values using
kinetic models. This discrepancy may occur due to partial oxidation of unburned
hydrocarbons released from crevices and lubricating oil film and deposits on the
combustion chamber walls during expansion.

CO emissions in real engines:
Mixture mal-distribution in multi cylinder engines causes cylinder-to-cylinder
variation in air-fuel ratio. It results in significant increase in the average CO
emissions. This is especially prominent in the carburetted or single point throttle
body-injected (TBI) engines.
Another contributing factor to higher CO emissions is non-uniform mixture
distribution within the cylinder.
During cold start of engine and acceleration rich mixtures are used resulting in higher
CO emissions
Overall, the air-fuel ratio is the most important engine parameter affecting CO
emissions. Other factors influence CO mostly indirectly through changes in mixture
composition and/or promotion of slow oxidation reactions resulting in incomplete
combustion.

HC Emissions from Wall Quenching
Single wall quench layer thickness typically varies from 0.05 to 0.1 mm. It
decreases with increase of engine load as higher wall temperature results at higher engine
loads, which reduces heat loss to the walls from the reaction zone, and consequently a
smaller quench layer thickness is obtained.
However, at top dead centre the surface to volume ratio of the combustion
chamber is at its maximum and at this point the wall quench layer may comprise of 0.1 to
0.2 percent of the total charge inducted into the cylinder.
Studies on combustion of pre-mixed fuel air mixtures in combustion bombs
show that when all the crevices in the bomb are eliminated by filling with solid material,
unburned HC concentrations were just about 10 ppmC only. Such low concentrations
result as after flame quenching the hydrocarbons in the quench layer thickness on the
single walls diffuse in the hot burned gas quite early and get oxidized.
Typically, most hydrocarbons would get oxidized on diffusion in the high
temperature burned gases within 2-3 milliseconds of the flame quench. These studies
showed that the contribution of single wall quench layers to the total unburned HC
emission is quite small.

Crevice HC
Crevices in the combustion chamber are narrow regions into which fuel-air
mixture can flow but flame cannot propagate due to their high surface to volume ratio
causing high heat transfer rates to walls.
The largest crevice in the combustion chamber is between cylinder wall and
piston top land, and second land.
Other crevices present are along the gasket between cylinder head and block,around intake and exhaust valve seats, threads around spark plug and space around the
central electrode of the spark plug.
Pistonring - cylinder crevice is shown schematically infollowing figure.

HC Emissions from CI Engines
The unburned hydrocarbons in diesel exhaust consist of original fuel molecules,
products of pyrolysis of fuel compounds and partially oxidized hydrocarbons, in all
numbering to almost 400 organic compounds ranging from methane to heaviest fuel
components. In diesel engines, several events like liquid fuel injection, fuel
evaporation, fuel-air mixing, combustion, and mixing of burned and unburned gases
may take place concurrently and combustion is heterogeneous in nature. Thus,
several processes are likely to contribute to unburned hydrocarbon emissions as
below;
Overmixing of fuel and air beyond lean flammability limits during delay period,
Under-mixing of fuel injected towards the end of injection process resulting in fuel-
air ratios that are too rich for complete combustion,
Impingement of fuel sprays on walls due to spray over-penetration,
Poorly atomized fuel from the nozzle sac volume and nozzle holes after the end of
injection, and Bulk quenching of combustion reactions due to cold engine conditions, mixing with
cooler air or during expansion.

SOOT AND PARTICULATE EMISSIONS:
Soot is a carbonaceous particulate matter and is produced during combustion of the
rich fuel - air mixtures.
Appearance of black smoke emissions in the exhaust indicates high concentration of
soot in the exhaust gases. Soot is mostly produced in the diffusion combustion systems, but overly rich
premixed combustion also produces soot.
As the spark ignition engines generally operate close to stoichiometric air-fuel ratio,
soot emissions from these engines are not significant. With the use of unleaded
gasoline, lead particulates from the SI engines have been eliminated.
Here, we will discuss particulate emissions only from the diesel engines as these are
of major health concern and are more difficult to control. Soot emissions have been
associated with respiratory problems and are thought to be carcinogenic in nature.
The particle size is important as the particles smaller than 2.5 can reach lungs
along with the inhaled air and cause health problems. The particles smaller than 2.5
constitute more than 90 percent mass of the total particulate matter in the dieselexhaust.
The fuel composition also is an important factor in soot production and
emissions. For diffusion combustion soot-forming tendency is generally in the
following order;

Diesel particulate matter has two main components;
Dry soot or solid carbon material
Dry soot is mainly the carbonaceous fraction of the particulate and its typical
chemical formulae are C8H, C9H and C10H. About 5 to 10 % by mass oxygen and
0.5% nitrogen are also present. Typical empirical formula of dry soot would be
CH0.11O0.065N0.005. Dry soot results from several processes like pyrolysis,
dehydrogenation and condensation of fuel molecules.
Soluble organic fraction (SOF)
The soluble organic fraction originates from the fuel and oil hydrocarbons,
and hence has H/C ratio 2, although depending upon engine operating conditions it
may vary from 1.25 to 2.0. The hydrocarbons C17to C40are present in particulateSOF phase, the C23C24being close to the mean. Typically, SOF has an empirical
formula CH1.65O0.1N0.007. The soluble organic fraction is adsorbed on the solid soot
core. The SOF also consists of partial oxidation products and poly aromatic
hydrocarbons besides hydrocarbons originating from fuel and the lubricating
oil. The mass content of SOF varies significantly depending upon engine design and
operating conditions, but mostly it is in the range from 20 to 45 percent.
In addition to SOF, sulphates originating from fuel sulphur, nitrogen dioxide
and water are also absorbed on the particle core formed by soot. Other inorganic
compounds of iron, silicon (fuel contamination), phosphorous, calcium, zinc (source
is oil) etc. are also present in traces in the particulates

Diesel Smoke
Visible black smoke emissions from diesel engine result on account of highconcentration of soot in the exhaust gas. All the diesel engine design and operatingvariables that affect soot formation and oxidation also influence black smokeintensity. Initially, smoke emission standards for production diesel vehicles were in
force to control black smoke. Smoke emissions increase with increase in engine load due to overall richer fuel-air
ratios and hence, the rated engine power was specified based on the maximumpermitted smoke density to curb black smoke emissions during engine operation.The rated power was also known as smoke limited power.
Poor control of fuel injection rate during acceleration also increases smoke.
Use of EGR reduces combustion temperatures and oxygen concentration in theburned gases. EGR also reduces oxidation of soot and hence overall effect of EGR isto increase smoke.
Smoke emissions can be reduced by accelerating combustion. Higher combustionrates are obtained by increasing fuel air mixing through use of high swirl rates, byincreasing injection rate and improving fuel atomization. Advancing injection timingincreases combustion temperatures and allows more time for oxidation of sootthereby reducing smoke emissions.
Smoke is measured by measurement of light absorbed (opacity) in a definedspecific length of column of exhaust gas. The smokemeters employing thisprinciple are known as light extinction type of smokemeter such as Hartridge orAVL smokemeters. Smoke has also been measured by filtering a fixed volume ofexhaust gases through a filter paper and the smoke stain thus formed is evaluated ona grayness scale by a light reflectance meter (Bosch smokemeter).

Catalytic Convertors
Catalytic converters are now a standard fitment to SI engine powered vehicles.
The exhaust gas flows over a bed of catalyst where pollutants are converted to harmlessgases. The catalyst lowers the reaction temperature and hence high conversion rates are
obtained compared to thermal reactors. A catalytic converter consists of the following
main elements besides housing;
(i) Catalyst
(ii) Catalyst substrate or support, and(iii) Intermediate coat or washcoat
Catalyst
The active catalyst material is required to posses the following main characteristics
High specific reaction activity for pollutants
High resistance to thermal degradationGood cold start performance, and
Low deactivation caused by fuel contaminants and sulphur Other desirable
requirements are low cost.

The oxides of base metals such as copper, chromium, nickel, cobalt etc. have
been studied. The base metal oxides are effective only at higher temperatures. In addition,
they sinter and deactivate when subjected to high exhaust gas temperatures experienced at
high engine loads. Their conversion efficiency is severely reduced by sulphur dioxideproduced by sulphur in fuel. The noble metals platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd) and rhodium
(Rh) were found to meet the above mentioned performance requirements. In practice, only
the noble metals are used although these are expensive.
Mixtures of noble metals are used to provide higher reactivity and selectivity of
conversion.
Following are typical formulations;
Pt : Pd in 2:1 ratio for oxidation catalysts
(Pt + Pd): Rh in ratio of 5 :1 to 10: 1 for simultaneous oxidation and reduction such
as in 3-way catalysts
Palladium has higher specific activity than Pt for oxidation of CO, olefins and
methane. For the oxidation of paraffin hydrocarbons Pt is more active than Pd. Platinum
has a higher thermal resistance to deactivation. Rhodium is used as a NOx reduction
catalyst when simultaneous conversion of CO, HC and NOx is desired as in the 3-way
catalytic converters.

Catalyst Substrate
The active catalyst material is impregnated on the surface of catalyst substrate or
support. The function of catalyst substrate is to provide maximum possible contact of
catalyst with reactants. Following are the main requirements of catalyst substrate:
High surface area per unit volume to keep a small size of the converter
Support should be compatible with coating of a suitable material (washcoat) to providehigh surface area and right size of pores on its surface for good dispersion and high
activity of the catalyst.
Low thermal capacity and efficient heat transfer properties for quick heat-up to working
temperatures.
Ability to withstand high operating temperatures up to around to 1000 C.
High resistance to thermal shocks that could be caused by sudden heat release when HCfrom engine misfire get oxidized in the converter.
Low pressure drop
Ability to withstand mechanical shocks and vibrations at the operating
temperatures under road conditions for long life and durability of 160,000 km and longer
The following types of catalysts supports are used;Pellets
Monolithic supports

Oxygen Sensor
The exhaust gas oxygen sensor (EGO) also called, as -sensor' or lambdasensor' is
used to control air-fuel ratio within about 1% of stoichiometric value for operation of 3-
way catalysts. The sensor is fitted in the exhaust pipe just upstream of the catalytic
converter. EGO operates on the principle of electro-chemical cell. Lambda-sensor isused to detect the presence or absence of free oxygen in the exhaust gas. Typical
construction of an EGO is shown in Figure. Solid zirconium oxide (ZrO2 ) stabilized
with yttrium oxide (Y2O3) is used as electrolyte. The outer and inner surfaces of the
hollow cylindrical are coated with porous platinum to form inner and outer electrodes.
The outer electrode is exposed to the exhaust gas while the inner electrode to air having
a fixed oxygen concentration. Due to catalytic effect of platinum electrode the exhaustgas reaches equilibrium composition very rapidly.. The electrochemical reactions at the
electrodes produce oxygen ions that carry current through solid electrolyte producing a
voltage signal. The e.m.f. voltage, e 0 produced is a function of the ratio of partial
pressures of oxygen at the two electrodes and is given by Nernst equation :

CO and CO2NDIR Analyzers
Beer-Lambert's Law is used for operation of NDIR analyzers by measuring the
degree of absorption of infrared (IR) radiations when they pass through a column
of gas. The fraction of incident radiations absorbed is given by,
Where,
I = Radiation energy absorbed
I0= Incident radiation energyk = characteristic absorption constant for the gas, m2/gmol
c = concentration of the gas, gmol/m 3
d = length of the gas column, m

NDIR analyzer is shown schematically in Figure:
As the absorption of IR radiations is measured only in a narrow range of wavelengths
(not the entire range of wavelength of IR radiations) which has specifically a high
absorbance for the particular gas, the technique is called as Non-dispersive infra-red'. For
example carbon monoxide has a strong absorbance in the wavelength band of 4.5-5 m.
The analyzer measures differential in absorption of energy from two columns of gas;
(i) the gas to be analyzed in the sample cell' and (ii) a gas of fixed composition like
N2contained in the reference cell which is free of the gas of interest and relatively non-
absorbing in the infrared region.
The infrared beam from a single source is usually split into two beams of the same
intensity, one each for the sample and reference cells.
The detector is divided in two compartments separated by a flexible diaphragm; one
section receives transmitted IR energy from the sample cell and the other from the
reference cell.
The detector is filled with the gas of interest, so that the energy transmitted to the detector
is fully absorbed.
The flexible diaphragm of the detector senses the differential pressure between the twosections of the detector caused by the difference in the amount of transmitted IR energy
absorbed. The deflection in the diaphragm is used to generate an electrical signal that
determines the concentration of the gaseous species of interest.
A rotating interrupter in the path of IR beam is put to generate AC signal output that can
be amplified.

Flame Ionization Detector (FID)
Pure hydrogen-air flames are practically ion-free but on introduction of even
little amount of hydrocarbons the flame causes considerable ionization and becomes
electrically conducting. The ionization current is proportional to the number of carbon
atoms present in the hydrocarbon molecules. Thus, FID is effectively a carbon atomcounter e.g., one molecule of propane generates three times the response generated
by one molecule of methane. The measurement of HC by FID is expressed as parts
per million of methane i.e. as ppmC 1i.e., ppm of hydrocarbon containing equivalent
of one carbon atom. The HC concentration is commonly written as ppmC. HC
concentration measured as ppm propane (C3) is to be multiplied by a factor of 3 to
convert it to ppmC. All classes of hydrocarbons i.e., paraffin, olefins, aromatics, etc.show practically the same response to FID. Oxygenates, e.g. aldehydes and alcohols
however, have a somewhat lower response.
FID essentially consists of a hydrogen-air burner and an ion collector
assembly as shown in Figure. Sample gas is introduced with hydrogen in the burner
assembly and the mixture is burned in a diffusion flame. An electric potential is
applied between the collector plates that makes the ionization current to flow andgenerate signal proportional to HC concentration in the sample gas. This current is
amplified and the output signal is measured.
A well-designed burner will generate ionization current that is linearly
proportion to hydrocarbon content over a dynamic range of almost 1 to 10 6 . The
commercial FID analyzers have the most sensitive range set at about 0-50 ppmC and
the maximum range reaching 0-100,000 ppmC.

Hydrogen is mixed with helium in ratio of 40:60 to decrease flame
temperature that increases flame stability. The FID analyzer is calibrated with
propane or methane mixtures in nitrogen. For the measurement of hydrocarbons in
diesel exhaust, sampling line and FID are heated to a temperature of 191 11C to
minimize condensation of heavy hydrocarbons present in the diesel exhaust in thesampling system.

Chemiluminescence Analyzer (CLA)
When NO and ozone (O3) react a small fraction (about 10% at 26.7C) of
excited NO2* molecules is produced as per the following reactions:
(4.2)
(4.3)As the excited molecules of NO2* decay to ground state, light in the wavelength
region 0.6-3.0 m is emitted. The quantity of excited NO2 produced is fixed at a given
reaction temperature and the intensity of light produced during decay of excited NO2 is
proportional to the concentration of NO in the sample.

A schematic diagram of the chemiluminescence NOxanalyzer is shown in Figure:
The sample containing NO flows to a reactor where it reacts with ozone produced from
oxygen in ozonator' .In the reactor NO is converted to NO2.
A photomultiplier tube detects the light emitted by the excited NO2. The signal is then
amplified and fed to recorder or indicating equipment.
For the measurement of nitrogen oxides (NOx), NO2in the sample is first converted to
NO by heating in a NO2- to-NO converter prior to its introduction into the reactor. At 315
C, about 90 percent of NO2is converted to NO2. The total concentration of NOxin thesample is thus, measured as NO. When the sample is introduced in the reactor bypassing
the NO2- to- NO converter, concentration of NO alone is determined. The difference
between the two measurements provides the concentration of NO2in the sample.
The response of the instrument is linear with NO concentration. The technique is very
sensitive and can detect up to 10-3ppm of NOx.
The output signal is proportional to the product of sample flow rate and NO
concentration. As the method is flow sensitive an accurate flow control is necessary. The
calibration and operation are done at the same flow rate and reactor temperature.

Smokemeters
In the filtration type smokemeters like Bosch smokemeter a fixed volume
of the exhaust gas is drawn through a white filter paper of specified quality. The
density of smoke stain obtained on the filter paper is evaluated using a reflectance
meter which gives the measure of smoke density of diesel exhaust gas. Now,
mostly light extinction/absorption smokemeters based on Beer-Lambert Law are
used. The light extinction type smokemeters are more commonly called as
opacimeters' as these provide a more realistic measurement of the visible smoke
emissions from diesel engines.
Both the sampling type and full flow type opacimeters are in use. The
construction requirements, installation and operational details of opacimeters are
described in the relevant international standards. A sampling type smokemeter is
shown schematically in Figure.

An incandescent lamp with a colour temperature in the range of 2 800 K to 3 250
K or a green light emitting diode (LED) with a spectral peak between 550 nm and 570 nm
is used as light source. The transmitted light is received on a photocell or a photo diode
(with filter if necessary). When the light source is an incandescent lamp, the receiver should
have maximum response in the range 550 nm to 570 nm wavelength as is for the human
eye.
When light from a source is transmitted through a certain path length of the
exhaust gas, smoke opacityis the fraction of light that is absorbed in the exhaust gas column
and does not reach the light detector of smoke meter. The absolute smoke density is given
by the absorption coefficient, kswhich has units of m -1 and is given by:
(4.4)
whereL is length of smoke column in meter through which light from the source
is made to pass, I0is the intensity of incident light, I is the transmitted light falling on the
smokemeter receiver.
In the full flow type smokemeters, the light source and detector are placed
directly across the exhaust gas stream usually at the end of exhaust pipe. In this case, pathlength of smoke measurement varies with the cross sectional size of the exhaust gas stream
or tail pipe. Hence, conversion charts of the measured value to the absolute smoke
density, ksfor different exhaust pipe diameter or path lengths are made available for the full
flow smoke meters.
