Reduced Emissions and Fuel Consumption in Automobile Engines

This book covers the underlying processes which cause pollutant emissions and explores possibilities for their reduction.

Chapters include:

• Causes of pollutants and their toxicity
• Design features which influence pollutant emissions and fuel consumption in four-stroke engines
• Engine-related measures which reduce pollutant emissions and fuel consumption in two-strokes
• Exhaust aftertreatment methods
• The influence of fuel and lubricants on emissions and fuel consumption
• Problems with CO2 emissions
• Laws regulating the emission of pollutants and maximum fuel consumption of combustion engines (United States, Europe, and Japan)
