Catalytic converter

increasing humans can help to reduce emissions. Sulphur can be washed out of smoke, for example, by spraying a mixture of water and powdered limestone into a smokestack. Another way to preserve the amount of acid rain produced is to fill cars with catalytic converters which can remove three of the dangerous chemicals from exhaust…

certified technician reprograms the ECM (Electronic Control Module) to adjust and run with the changes made to the engine. Next is deleting the DPF, all that has to be done for this is taking off the old exhaust with all of the mufflers and catalytic converters and installing an exhaust that has nothing but an aftermarket muffler or one has nothing which is called a straight pipe. After completing all of these tasks to the engine it could range anywhere from $1,000 - $5,000 varying on the year…

as compared to the original version of VAZ 2101. Some modification of the Lada Riva was carried out by the 1452 CC engine with OHV over the original Lada VAZ 2103. Some other 1569 CC engine in 1.6 L had been single point fuel injection and catalytic converters. This car can improve the interior, instrument panel and a chrome…

Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION Harley Davidson, which is known as Harley, is an American motorcycle manufacturer. The company was founded in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1903. It is one of two major American motorcycle manufacturer companies to survive the Great Depression. It has survived numerous ownership arrangements and subsidiary arrangements. On the other hand, the company has also suffered from periods of poor economic health and quality of products in global competition to become the world's 5th…

Even as the industries rise up there has been a challenge of the emission of carbon dioxide gas which has resulted to global warming which is quite a big issue that can no longer be ignored. Even as the engineers are trying to come up with catalytic converters to reduce the gas emissions it’s still quite not yet solved but research are still ongoing to improve on the same. This has caused the death of some animals and human beings due to increased…

and absorbs the sulfur dioxide. Another option is changing the way power plants burn coal and fossil fuels to reduce the nitrogen oxide created from the combustion. Methods to help mitigate nitrogen oxide emissions from cars is by the use of catalytic converters attached to the exhaust system that transform NO2 and carbon monoxide into CO2 and water. The Clean Air Act encourages the development and sale of alternative sources of fuel used for transportation. Fuels such as natural gas, ethanol,…

Acid rain is any form of precipitation that has unusually high acidity (a pH level below 5.6) and caused by the transformation of nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide into secondary pollutants. pH is is a scale used that measures the acidity of liquids and ranged from 0 to 14. The lower the number, the higher acidity, or the higher concentration of hydrogen ions. 0-5 is considered acidic and as you move up to 7, this indicates the substance is neutral. The higher numbers on the scale indicate…

Throughout just last year alone, the United States consumed a daily average of 384 million gallons of gasoline (“U.S. Energy Information Administration”). Gasoline is a type of crude oil pumped from deep underground. It is refined from fossil fuels, dead and decayed remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago, to gasoline by adding a multitude of additive chemicals such as ethanol. After the gasoline is refined, it is pumped into storage terminals so it can be loaded into…

1.1 Introduction/ what is Acid Rain? Acid rain, or acid precipitation is a term used to describe any form of precipitation with a pH of less than 5.6. In recent years, the effects of acid rain are being experienced on a global scale with widespread environmental effects. Primarily, acid rain is caused by emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) from the combustion of fossil fuels. However, even pure rainwater is slightly acidic (pH of 5.6-6.5) due to the reaction between H2O…

Humans are inquisitive creatures who have reached beyond the stars to satisfy their curiosity. In particular, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), a government agency that oversees U.S. aeronautics and aerospace programs and research, wants to “reach for new heights and reveal the unknown for the benefit of humankind” (Wilson). NASA has been a national icon for space exploration for nearly 60 years (Simpson). In the 20th century, the U.S. engaged in the space race, a…
