Abstract

Diesel engines have major roles in automotive and stationary applications, both large (heavy duty) and small (light duty). Diesel engines are energy efficient, but their NOx and particulate emissions present major obstacles to engine development. This selective review of the course "Diesel Particulates and NOx Emissions" reports the latest developments taking place in diesel technology: engine design, fuel injection systems, fuel, lubricants, turbochargers, aftertreatment, emissions and health effects, that impact on particulate and NOx emissions. The course is run by the University of Leeds, Energy and Resources Research Institute.
