Mechanism of Hydrocarbon Formation in Combustion Processes

  • Chapter
Engine Emissions

Abstract

Emissions from transportation systems that derive their energy directly from combustion processes include products of incomplete combustion, oxides of nitrogen, oxides of sulfur, and lead and other trace metals that are employed as combustion-improving additives. Emissions associated with the products of incomplete combustion can be further subdivided to include carbon monoxide, gaseous hydrocarbons, polynuclear aromatics, odor, and combustible particulates.
