Elimination of engine generated nanoparticles

This volume summarizes the current knowledge about engine generated particles, their physics, chemistry and health effects, methods of sampling, measurement and characterization, measures to reduce the particle generation inside the engine as well as to eliminate them by aftertreatment. It supplies latest information for engineers in engine and aftertreatment development, fuel and lubrification technology, type approval and in-use compliance testing as well as for emission authorities and interested users of clean new Diesel engines.
