This book discusses the current technology and future status of diesel engines. While gasoline engines are preferred for speed and jet engines, diesel engines are widely used in vehicles and machinery that require torque, such as ships, trains, tanks, unmanned ariel vehicles (UAVs), and heavy-duty vehicles. Some recent research on global climate change has focused on obtaining zero carbon, zero emissions, and decarbonization via clean combustion technologies. For this reason, restrictive emission regulations have forced engine manufacturers and research centers to turn to different technologies to achieve clean combustion in diesel engines. This book focuses on different combustion technolog...
The expanding use of nanoparticles in a wide range of applications has brought to light the need to adopt an integrated approach regarding their synthesis, use, recovery and handling. This book covers the intense research field of nanoparticle utilization as remediation agents for toxic pollutants, and pays special attention to their post-application recovery, the monitoring of their fate when released, and life cycle analysis. The reader may therefore evaluate the prospects and limitations of these technologies through the prism of sustainability demands. Several chapters summarize successful applications of single or multi-phase nanoparticles for drinking water purification, wastewater and...
