1. 11. Multiscale methods for the fundamental understanding of diesel soot mitigation

   Författare :Carl Justin Kamp; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Nanofabrication; Catalyst; Soot; Aftertreatment; Carbon; Particulate Matter; Oxidation; Ash; Diesel Particulate Filter;

   Sammanfattning : Current regulations for diesel exhaust emissions cannot be met by engine improvements alone, and for this reason the diesel particulate filter (DPF) is a widely used aftertreatment component for the control of diesel particulate matter (PM). The DPF functions by trapping PM and destroying it by oxidation. LÄS MER

3. 12. Airborne particulate matter in a Sub-Saharan Africa city: Nairobi, Kenya, and at an Equatorial high altitude site: Mount Kenya

   Författare :Samuel Mwaniki Gaita; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; X-ray Fluorescence XRF ; Particle Induced X-ray Emission PIXE ; Particulate matter pollutants; Source apportionment; sub-Saharan Africa; Deposition fractions; High- altitude; Free troposphere; Spatial distribution;

   Sammanfattning : In Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), air quality is gravely understudied despite the existing influential factors such a rapid urbanization and population growth that negatively affect the environment. Majority of urban areas in SSA face challenges that include lack of social services, poor infrastructure development, exponential increase of second-hand vehicles and extensive use of biomass-based fuel for energy needs.

4. 13. Numerical modelling of particulate matter deposition in exhaust gas after-treatment systems

   Författare :Ananda Subramani Kannan; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Immersed boundary method; DNS; Brownian motion; PM transformation and Rarefied gas; Nanoscales;

   Sammanfattning : As urban air quality declines, the corresponding levels of particulate matter (PM), that include pollutants such as sulfates, nitrates and black carbon, rise posing the greatest risks to human health. Hence, the control of these particulate emissions constitutes a major global challenge that commands serious attention. LÄS MER

5. 14. Sustainable Energy Conversion from Biomass Waste Combustion

   Författare :Maulana Nugraha; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; particle modelling; furnace; particulate matter; Stefan flow; computational fluid dynamics CFD ; orthogonal collocation; biomass waste combustion;

   Sammanfattning : Various biomass-type conversions into sustainable heat and power, from dedicated crops to solid biomass waste via the combustion process, are at the center of scientific and industrial focus today. However, biomass combustion contribution to global particulate matter (PM) emission has become one of the biggest challenges that remain in the development of sustainable biomass combustion systems.

7. 15. Sustainable Energy Conversion from Biomass Waste Combustion - Experimental and Multiscale Modelling Studies

   Författare :Maulana Nugraha; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Stefan flow; particulate matter; biomass; combustion; soot; furnace; orthogonal collocation; CFD simulation;

   Sammanfattning : The development of sustainable energy conversion via residual biomass combustion is one of the scientific and industrial community focus today to fulfilling the global net zero emission commitment in 2050. Despite its potency due to the abundant stock of biomass, hazardous particulate matter (PM) emission from residual biomass combustion remains a big challenge to increase the contribution of biomass combustion as a main renewable energy source.
