NOx Reduction of Diesel Engine with Madhuca Indica biodiesel using Selective ...IOSR Journals
A comparison analysis for different flow rates of urea-water selective catalytic reduction (SCR) has
been carried out on a direct injection diesel engine. An optimum nozzle opening pressure of 250 bar and static
injection timing of 20°bTDC is considered because these conditions only were found to give minimum emissions
and better performance. An engine set up with SCR is made to study the influence of SCR on reduction of
emissions from the diesel engine. The volume flow rate of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 ml/minute have been used with a
mixture of 30% urea and 70% water as SCR for the entire experiment. From the test results, it could be noted
that, among all flow rates, the volume flow rate of3 ml/minute gives better performance, combustion and lowest
emissions. Among the blends, B100 gives lowest emissions of smoke density and hydrocarbon as compared to without SCR. But in the presence of SCR, there is a drastic reduction in NOx of 17.81% for B100 as compared
to without SCR at full load condition of the engine

Removal of Cu(II) Ions from Aqueous Solutions by Adsorption Onto Activated Ca...IJERA Editor
This paper studied the ability of using local activated carbon (LAC) derived from olive waste cakes as an
adsorbent for the removal of Cu(II) ions from aqueous solution by batch operation. Various operating parameters
such as solution pH, adsorbent dosage, initial metal ions concentration, and equilibrium contact time have been
studied. The results indicated that the adsorption of Cu(II) increased with the increasing pH, and the optimum
solution pH for the adsorption of Cu(II) was found to be 5. The adsorption process increases with increasing
dosage of LAC, also the amount of Cu(II) removed changes with Cu(II) initial concentration and contact time.
Adsorption was rapid and occurred within 25 min. for Cu(II) concentration range from 60 to 120 mg/l
isothermally at 30±1 oC. Maximum adsorption occurs at Cu(II) initial concentration lesser than 100 mg/l by
using adsorbent dosage (1.2 g/l). The equilibrium adsorption data for Cu(II) were fitted well with the Langmuir
and Freundlich adsorption isotherm models. The maximum adsorption capacity of LAC was found to be 106.383
mg/g. So, the results indicated the suitability use of the activated carbon derived from olive waste cakes (LAC)
as low cost and natural material for reliable removal of Cu(II) from water and wastewater effluents.

A major part of the air pollution caused is due to the vehicular emission which is increasing at an alarming rate. The different types of vehicles like car, bus, truck etc. contribute a way as well as play a dominant duty in increasing air pollution. These vehicles find its running source mainly form the extracts of fossil fuels like petrol, diesel. The fuels undergo combustion to generate energy so as to support the vehicle for duty. The incomplete combustion of the fuels in the engine paves a way for production of products like the carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and particulate matters. A high emission level is therefore a proved result. For the purpose of forcing the fuel to have efficient combustion and for reduction of the emission levels for reducing air pollution a wide range of processes are applicable. These include improvising engine design, fuel pre-treatment etc. Among these wide ranges of options available catalytic converter is found to be a better way for establishing an efficient combustion in the controller engine of the vehicle. Usage of noble group metal is an effective way for effective combustion like the platinum group metal serves way good for reducing the exhausts. With the help of secondary measures efficiency of the engine is improved as well.

our life by providing users with new types of services. Users get service from a cloud without paying

ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing
resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly
provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. More
and more people pay attention to cloud computing. Cloud computing is efficient and scalable but
maintaining the stability of processing so many jobs in the cloud computing environment is a very
complex problem with load balancing receiving much attention for researchers. Since the job
arrival pattern is not predictable and the capacities of each node in the cloud differ, for load
balancing problem, workload control is crucial to improve system performance and maintain
stability. Load balancing schemes depending on whether the system dynamics are important can be
either static or dynamic. Static schemes do not use the system information and are less complex
while dynamic schemes will bring additional costs for the system but can change as the system
status changes. A dynamic scheme is used here for its flexibility. The model has a main controller
and balancers to gather and analyze the information. Thus, the dynamic control has little influence
on the other working nodes. The system status then provides a basis for choosing the right load
balancing strategy. The load balancing model given in this research article is aimed at the public

the environment is very large and complex, these divisions simplify the load balancing. The cloud

Making Trust Relationship For Peer To Peer System With Secure ProtocolIJMER
In the peer-to-peer systems exposes them to malicious activity. Building trust relationships
among peers can mitigate attacks of malicious peers. This paper presents distributed algorithms that
enable a peer to reason about trust worthiness of other peers based on past interactions and
recommendations. Peers create their own trust network in their proximity by using local information
available and do not try to learn global trust information. Two contexts of trust, service, and
recommendation contexts are defined to measure trustworthiness in providing services and giving
recommendations. So, neighbouring node will give the recommendation to peer. Based on the
recommendation only Peer decides whether the node is good (or) malicious. Find the node is
malicious node means peer will not interact with malicious node. Isolate the malicious node from the
network. Find the node is good means peer interact with good peer. Peer stores a separate history of
interactions for each Acquaintance. This paper also discuss the malicious threats, privacy concerns,
and security risks of three commonpeer-to-peer network systems that are gaining popularity today.
The malicious threats discussed willinclude how malicious threats can harness existing peer-to-peer
networks, and how peer-to-peernetworking provides an additional (potentially unprotected) vector of
delivery for malicious code.
Evaluation and Accuracy Assessment of Static GPS Technique in Monitoring of ...IJMER
It is well known that, deformation monitoring systems are considered, nowadays, to be the
back bone factor for human safety as well as preserving the ultimate economy of his achievements. In
this context, there has been always an increasing demand for precise deformation measurements in
keeping up several engineering structures and historical monuments. Measuring and monitoring
monumental deformation is the sequence of operations that allows the finding of movements of points
or features in a specified coordinate system, during two different times for the same investigated
feature. The time interval sometimes is the main factor in measuring horizontal deformation, especially
in loading test of steel bridges. Hence, the present paper investigates the accuracy of the GPS in
monitoring of horizontal deformation with respect to the time of observation. So, a practical
simulation test was made to assess the accuracy of GPS with time in measuring horizontal
deformation. The obtained results indicated that, the used methods and techniques presented in the
current research paper have possessed a very good accuracy, reliability and applicability in
monitoring horizontal deformations efficiently. The accuracy of measuring horizontal deformation of
points on structure using relative static technique of GPS is from (0.1mm) to (1.8mm) for time interval
from 30 minute to 5 minute and has R.M.S.E (0.3mm)

The modern machining industries are focused on achieving high quality, in terms of part/component accuracy, surface finish, high production rate and increase in product life. Surface roughness of machined components has received serious attention of researchers for many years. It has
been an important design feature and quality measure in machining process. There are a large number of
parameters which affect the surface roughness. The typical controllable parameters for the CNC machines
include cutting tool variables, work piece material variables, cutting conditions etc. The desired output is
surface roughness, material removal rate, tool wear, etc. Optimization of machining parameters needs to
determine the most significant parameter for required output. Many techniques are used for optimization
of machining parameters including Taguchi, RSM and ANOVA approach to determine most significant
parameter. The present work is therefore in a direction to integrate effect of various parameters which affect
the surface roughness. This paper investigates the parameters affecting the surface roughness and / or
material removal rate with CNC turning process studied by researchers. It also discusses some other parameters such as cutting force and power consumption in different conditions

Absorption of Nitrogen Dioxide into Sodium Carbonate Solution in Packed ColumnIJMER
Absorption of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) gas from (NO2/Air or NO2/N2) gas mixture into sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) alkaline solution was performed using packed column in pilot scale. The aim of the study was to improve the Absorption efficiency of this process, to find the optimal operation conditions, and to contribute to the application of this process in the industry. Absorption efficiency (η) was measured by using various operating parameters: gas mixture flow rate (QG) of 20-30 m3/h, nitrogen dioxide inlet concentration (YNO2) of 500-2500 ppm, experimental temperature (T) of 30-50 ℃, Na2CO3 solution concentration (CNa2CO3) of 10-30 wt %, and liquid holdup in the column (VL) of 0.02-0.03 m3according to experimental design. The measured η was in the range of η = 60.80-89.43 %, and of η = 60.10-91.50 % respectively depending on the operating parameters investigated. Computer program (Statgraphics/Experimental Design) was used to estimate the fitted linear models of η in terms of (QG, YNO2, CNa2CO3, T, and VL), and the economic aspects of the process. The accuracy of η models is ± 2.3 %. The linear models of η were adequate, the operating parameters were significant, and the interactions were negligible. Results of η obtained reveal that a negligible influence of oxidation with a maximum deviation of 2.2 %.
Robust Co3O4|α-Al2O3|cordierite structured catalyst for N2O abatement – Valid...CarmenMoncada10
Co3O4|α-Al2O3|cordierite structured catalysts were developed, optimizing washcoating procedure, active phase loading, and its deposition method via impregnation and solution combustion synthesis (SCS). The catalysts were thoroughly characterized by XRD, μRS, SEM/EDS, and BET, revealing that the catalyst layer deposited over cordierite carrier, consists of a washcoated micrometric α-Al2O3 (0.1–0.3 µm grains), where spinel nanocrystals (30–50 nm) were uniformly dispersed. It was found out that the SCS method to synthesize and finely disperse spinel nanoparticles results in significant better catalytic performance in low-temperature N2O decomposition than the classic impregnation method. The effectiveness factor evaluated, based on catalyst morphological features and deN2O catalytic results, was found to be ≈1. The determined mass transfer coefficients and type of the catalyst working regime (purely kinetic in the whole temperature range) provide the useful platform for rational design of a real deN2O catalyst.
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) is an advanced active emissions control technology system that injects a liquid-reductant agent through a special catalyst into the exhaust stream of a diesel engine. The reductant source is usually automotive-grade urea, otherwise known as Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF). The DEF sets off a chemical reaction that converts nitrogen oxides into nitrogen, water and tiny amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2), natural components of the air we breathe, which is then expelled through the vehicle tailpipe.
SCR technology is designed to permit nitrogen oxide (NOx) reduction reactions to take place in an oxidizing atmosphere. It is called "selective" because it reduces levels of NOx using ammonia as a reductant within a catalyst system. The chemical reaction is known as "reduction" where the DEF is the reducing agent that reacts with NOx to convert the pollutants into nitrogen, water and tiny amounts of CO2. The DEF can be rapidly broken down to produce the oxidizing ammonia in the exhaust stream. SCR technology alone can achieve NOx reductions up to 90 percent

Effect of fly ash as an additive on ci engine fuelled with water emulsified d...IJECSJournal
Diesel engines exhausting gaseous emission and particulate matter have long been regarded as one of the major air pollution sources, particularly in metropolitan areas, and have been a source of serious public concern for a long time. There has been numerous research in the field of reduction of these pollutants since diesel engines came to major use. Major emissions from a diesel engine are NOx, SOx, CO and particulate matter (PM).amongst these pollutants CO and Sox and some quantity of particulate matters are reduced by some after treatment devices. Also NOx emissions are reduced by selective catalytic reduction, exhaust gas recirculation. In this work, the experiment was carried out on twin cylinder diesel engine fuelled with water emulsified diesel and fly ash as an additive. The test is carried out at constant speed and varying the load condition and investigate the performance and emission characteristics of the engine. Brake specific fuel consumption is increased by 3.33% and 5.43%. and NOX emission is reduced by 11.87% and 15% respectively, when addition of 5% and 10% water in diesel. Also with the addition of 3% and 6% fly-ash in 5% and 10% water diesel emulsion. Brake specific fuel consumption is increased by 6.27%, 7.91%, 5.79% and 8.21%, also Co emission was increases by 22.33%, 12.5%, 36.36% and 22.22% respectively when results comparing with diesel. The Brake thermal efficiency was increased by 4.39% when addition of 10% water in diesel and also with addition of 3% and 6% fly-ash in 10% water diesel emulsion there is 3.97% and 1.11%. Brake thermal efficiency increases as compare to diesel.
The explosion hazard in urea process (1)Prem Baboo
In Urea plant passivation air is used in reactor, stripper and downstream of the all equipments. The reactor liner material used Titanium, Zirconium, SS 316L (urea grade), 2RE-69 and duplex material .except Titanium and Zirconium all stainless steel required more passivation air. In CO2 some quantity of Hydrogen is present about 0.14% to 0.2% . The passivation oxygen and Hydrogen makes explosive mixture. To avoid a fire or explosion in a process vessel is to introduce inert (noncombustible) gases in such a way that there is never a mixture with a combustible concentration in exit of MP vent. Mixtures of fuel, oxygen, and inert gases are not combustible over the entire range of composition. In CO2 stripping process the HP scrubber is the risky vessel and this vessel consisting blanketing sphere, Heat exchanger part and a scrubbing part. With help of triangular diagram that shows the shape of the combustible/noncombustible regions for a typical gaseous mixture of fuel, oxygen, and inert at specified temperature and pressure. Present article how to avoid that combustible rang and how to tackle that gases in CO2 & ammonia stripping process.
Abstract
The present day scenario of the modern world is impossible to imagine without automobile. Thus it a primary challenge for automobile industries to design efficient and cost effective engine. The performance of the engine again depends on the type of fuel used, the cooling system, the lubrication system, the range of temperature in which the engine works etc. If the factors are taken care of then the performance of the engine can be improved. In this paper the effect of the fuel assimilating metallic nano-particles is studied. After the combustion of fuel in the combustion chamber the byproducts of combustion (water vapor and carbon dioxide) are further disintegrated, the dissociation of water being an exothermal process adds up to the heat intake of the engine. The food for the engine being heat and not the fuel, it is beneficial in every sense to extract maximum possible amount of heat from the given mass of fuel. This process has both merits and demerits which are shown by the comprehensive study of the fuel used in an internal combustion engine, the chemical process involved in the combustion and the process of exhaust.

SYNGAS PRODUCTION BY DRY REFORMING OF METHANE OVER CO-PRECIPITATED CATALYSTSIAEME Publication
The syngas manufacturing from the reforming of methane with carbon dioxide is tempting because of output in terms of extra pure synthesis gas and lower H2 to CO ratio than other synthesis gas production methods like either partial oxidation or steam reforming. For production of long-chain hydrocarbons though the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, lower H2 to CO ratio is required and important, as it is a most likely feedstock. In recent decades, CO2 utilization has become more and more important in view of the emergent global warming phenomenon. On the environmental point of view, methane reforming is tantalizing due to the reduction of carbon dioxide and methane emissions as both are consider as dangerous greenhouse gases. Commercially, as cost effectively, nickel is used for methane reforming reactions due to its availability and lower cost compared to noble metals. Number of catalysts endures rigorous deactivation because of carbon deposition. Mainly carbon formation is because of methane decomposition and CO disproportionate. It is important and required to recognize essential steps of activation and conversion of CH4 and CO2 to design catalysts that minimize deactivation. Effect of promoters on activity and stability were studied in the detail. In order to develop the highly active with minimum coke formation the alkali metal oxides and ceria/zirconia/magnesia promoters were incorporated in the catalysts. The influence of ZrO2, CeO2 and MgO, in the performance of Ni-Al2O3 catalyst, prepare by co-precipitation method was studied in detailed. The XRD, FTIR, and BET and reactivity test for different promoted and unprompted catalyst was carried out.

virtually no loss of light conducted through the fibers. This paper deals with the modeling of such
translucent or transparent concrete blocks and panel and their usage and also the advantages it brings
in the field. The main purpose is to use sunlight as a light source to reduce the power consumption of
illumination and to use the optical fiber to sense the stress of structures and also use this concrete as an
architectural purpose of the building

Geochemistry and Genesis of Kammatturu Iron Ores of Devagiri Formation, Sandu...IJMER
The Greenstone belts of Karnataka are enriched in BIFs in Dharwar craton, where Iron
formations are confined to the basin shelf, clearly separated from the deeper-water iron formation that
accumulated at the basin margin and flanking the marine basin. Geochemical data procured in terms of
major, trace and REE are plotted in various diagrams to interpret the genesis of BIFs. Al2O3, Fe2O3 (T),
TiO2, CaO, and SiO2 abundances and ratios show a wide variation. Ni, Co, Zr, Sc, V, Rb, Sr, U, Th,
ΣREE, La, Ce and Eu anomalies and their binary relationships indicate that wherever the terrigenous
component has increased, the concentration of elements of felsic such as Zr and Hf has gone up. Elevated
concentrations of Ni, Co and Sc are contributed by chlorite and other components characteristic of basic
volcanic debris. The data suggest that these formations were generated by chemical and clastic
sedimentary processes on a shallow shelf. During transgression, chemical precipitation took place at the
sediment-water interface, whereas at the time of regression. Iron ore formed with sedimentary structures
and textures in Kammatturu area, in a setting where the water column was oxygenated.

Non linear analysis of Robot Gun Support Structure using Equivalent Dynamic A...IJMER
Robot guns are being increasingly employed in automotive manufacturing to replace
risky jobs and also to increase productivity. Using a single robot for a single operation proves to be
expensive. Hence for cost optimization, multiple guns are mounted on a single robot and multiple
operations are performed. Robot Gun structure is an efficient way in which multiple welds can be done
simultaneously. However mounting several weld guns on a single structure induces a variety of
dynamic loads, especially during movement of the robot arm as it maneuvers to reach the weld
locations. The primary idea employed in this paper, is to model those dynamic loads as equivalent G
force loads in FEA. This approach will be on the conservative side, and will be saving time and
subsequently cost efficient. The approach of the paper is towards creating a standard operating
procedure when it comes to analysis of such structures, with emphasis on deploying various technical
aspects of FEA such as Non Linear Geometry, Multipoint Constraint Contact Algorithm, Multizone
meshing .

This paper present an approach based on the combination of, two techniques using
decision tree and Association rule mining for Probe attack detection. This approach proves to be
better than the traditional approach of generating rules for fuzzy expert system by clustering methods.
Association rule mining for selecting the best attributes together and decision tree for identifying the
best parameters together to create the rules for fuzzy expert system. After that rules for fuzzy expert
system are generated using association rule mining and decision trees. Decision trees is generated for
dataset and to find the basic parameters for creating the membership functions of fuzzy inference
system. Membership functions are generated for the probe attack. Based on these rules we have
created the fuzzy inference system that is used as an input to neuro-fuzzy system. Fuzzy inference
system is loaded to neuro-fuzzy toolbox as an input and the final ANFIS structure is generated for
outcome of neuro-fuzzy approach. The experiments and evaluations of the proposed method were
done with NSL-KDD intrusion detection dataset. As the experimental results, the proposed approach
based on the combination of, two techniques using decision tree and Association rule mining

Natural Language Ambiguity and its Effect on Machine LearningIJMER
"Natural language processing" here refers to the use and ability of systems to process
sentences in a natural language such as English, rather than in a specialized artificial computer
language such as C++. The systems of real interest here are digital computers of the type we think of as
personal computers and mainframes. Of course humans can process natural languages, but for us the
question is whether digital computers can or ever will process natural languages. We have tried to
explore in depth and break down the types of ambiguities persistent throughout the natural languages
and provide an answer to the question “How it affects the machine translation process and thereby
machine learning as whole?” .

the help of Likert scale we define a rule based model and delegate some mass score to every process and
develop one tool name as MuxSet which will help the software developers to select an appropriate
development process that may enhance the probability of system success.
Material Parameter and Effect of Thermal Load on Functionally Graded CylindersIJMER
The present study investigates the creep in a thick-walled composite cylinders made
up of aluminum/aluminum alloy matrix and reinforced with silicon carbide particles. The distribution
of SiCp is assumed to be either uniform or decreasing linearly from the inner to the outer radius of
the cylinder. The creep behavior of the cylinder has been described by threshold stress based creep
law with a stress exponent of 5. The composite cylinders are subjected to internal pressure which is
applied gradually and steady state condition of stress is assumed. The creep parameters required to
be used in creep law, are extracted by conducting regression analysis on the available experimental
results. The mathematical models have been developed to describe steady state creep in the composite
cylinder by using von-Mises criterion. Regression analysis is used to obtain the creep parameters
required in the study. The basic equilibrium equation of the cylinder and other constitutive equations
have been solved to obtain creep stresses in the cylinder. The effect of varying particle size, particle
content and temperature on the stresses in the composite cylinder has been analyzed. The study
revealed that the stress distributions in the cylinder do not vary significantly for various combinations
of particle size, particle content and operating temperature except for slight variation observed for
varying particle content. Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) emerged and led to the development
of superior heat resistant materials.

Abstract: Pongamia pinata methyl ester (PPME) is chosen as alternative fuel for diesel engines. It is renewable and offer
potential reduction in CO; HC and smoke emissions due to higher O 2 contents in it compared to diesel fuel but higher
nitrogen oxides (NOx) emission. Nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the atmosphere cause serious environmental problems, such as
photochemical oxidant, acid rain, and global warming. The removal of nitrogen oxides (NOx) from the exhaust of diesel
engines is still a very challenging problem even though there have been many studies. Technologies available for NOx
reductions either enhance other polluting gas emissions or increase fuel consumption.
Injection of aqueous solutions of urea in the tail pipe of a diesel engine fuelled with Pongamia pinata methyl ester
(PPME) for the reduction of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) was carried out in a four stroke, single cylinder, water cooled,
constant speed diesel engine. Four observations were made for various concentration of urea solution 0%, 10%, 20%, and
30% by weight with different flow rates of urea solution as reductant by fitting Marine Ferromanganese nodule as SCR
catalyst which improves the chemical reactions. 64% NOx reduction achieved with the urea flow rate 0.60 lit/hr, 30%
concentration of urea solution and marine ferromanganese nodule as SCR.
Keywords: Pongamia pinata methyl ester, Diesel engine, NOx, SCR, Marine Ferromanganese nodule.
I. Introduction
The minimization of fuel consumption and the reduction of emissions have been two driving forces for engine
development throughout the last decades. The first objective is in the financial interest of the vehicle owners. The second is
imposed by legislation, sometimes also supported by excise reductions or customers’ demands for clean engines.
The ongoing emission of NOx is a serious persistent environmental problem due to; it plays an important role in the
atmospheric ozone destruction and global warming [1]. NOx is one of the most important precursors to the photochemical
smog. Component of smog irritate eyes and throat, stir up asthmatic attacks, decrease visibility and damages plants and
materials as well. By dissolving with water vapor NOx form acid rain which has direct and indirect effects both on human
and plants. An SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) exhaust gas after treatment system which uses urea solution as a
reducing agent has a high NOx reduction potential and is a well-known technique for stationary applications [2]. The idea of
using urea SCR systems for the reduction of NOx emissions in diesel engines is two decades old. Since then, many
applications have been developed, some of which have reached commercialization [3]. But, it is still a challenge for
researchers.
There are numerous techniques for NOx removal. Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx with Urea is
considered as potential technology for NOx reduction in diesel engine tail pipe emission. The main requirements for an SCR
catalyst of automotive applications are high volumetric activity, stability over a extensive temperature range (180°C–650°C),
and high selectivity with respect to the SCR reaction. In the last years, a main challenge was the development of catalysts
with higher volumetric activity and this has been achieved by increasing the intrinsic activity of the catalyst formulation and
by increasing the cell concentration of the monoliths [4]. Ammonia has been ruled out as a reducing agent, due to toxicity
and handling issues, and urea appears to be the reductant of choice for most applications, stored on board in an aqueous
solution. To overcome the difficulties connected with pure ammonia, urea can be hydrolyzed and decomposed to generate
ammonia.
CO (NH2)2→ NH3 + HNCO
HNCO + H2O → NH3 + CO2
It seems that urea, as ammonia source, is the best choice for such applications as urea is not toxic and also can be
easily transported as a high-concentration aqueous solution. As a result, NOx can be reduced with not only ammonia but also
the urea itself and its decomposition by product, HNCO, as shown in reactions [5].
2CO (NH2)2 + 6NO→5N2 + 2CO2 + 4H2O
4HNCO + 6NO→5N2 + 4CO2 + 2H2O
4NH3 + 4NO + O2 → 4N2 + 6H2O

Even though the use of urea in the reduction of NOx from the flue gas streams of power plants is a well-established
method, there have not been many studies on the use of urea as a reductant in treatment of the exhaust of lean-burn engines.
Schar et al. (2003) [6] suggested an advanced controller for a urea SCR catalytic converter system for a mobile
heavy-duty diesel engine. The after treatment system consists of injecting device for urea solution and a single SCR catalytic
converter. Chakravarthy et al. [7] have done a comprehensive literature review on the performance of zeolite catalysts
compared to vanadia catalysts, and found that zeolite catalysts generally have a higher NOx reduction efficiency of SCR
with NH3, and may have a broader temperature window for selectivity of SCR towards N 2. Secondly the optimization of the
urea injection strategy under transient engine operating conditions, in order to provide the necessary amounts of NH 3 for
NOx removal and at the same time minimize the amount of excess NH 3 slipping to the environment. Koebel et al. (2003) [8]
presented that atomization of urea-water-solution in hot exhaust stream yields to solid or molten urea.
Birkhold et al. [9] have claimed for automotive applications, that the urea-water-solution based SCR was a
promising method for control of NOx emissions. Urea-water-solution containing 32.5 wt% urea was sprayed into the hot
exhaust stream, for the subsequent generation of NH3 in the hot exhaust gas. As the evaporation and spatial distribution of
the reducing agent upstream the catalyst were vital factors for the conversion of NOx, the urea dosing system has to ensure
the proper preparation of the reducing agent at all operating conditions. Specific concerns with the ammonia process
included the storage, handling, and delivery of the ammonia. Also, any ammonia not consumed in the process may be
emitted (“ammonia slip”) as a result of this process. For these and other reasons, alternative agents have been proposed over
the years. Two of these that have received significant interest include cyanuric acid [(HNCO)3] and urea [(NH2)2CO] [10].
Koebel et al. (2000) [11] suggested the basic problems and challenges of the use of urea-SCR in mobile applications.
Though urea-SCR is very effective method for removing NOx at temperatures above 250° C there was a need for removing
NOx in a wide range of temperatures because of a large temperature variation of exhaust gas according to the operation
condition of the engine and because of further reduction of NOx emission limits. Schaber et al. [12] suggested that molten
urea evaporates to gaseous urea at temperatures above 413 K, but mainly decompose directly to NH 3 and HNCO above 425
K.Fang et al. (2003) [13] presented the effect of moisture on urea decomposition process and found that the moisture could
assist the hydrolysis of HNCO only in the temperature region below the first decomposition stage (below 250 oC). The
DRIFTS measurements showed that the final brown colour product formed at 450 oC could be a chemical complex of
polymeric melamines with high molecular weights which might actually block the active sites on the catalyst surface. Their
study showed that urea thermo-lysis exhibits two decomposition stages, involving ammonia generation and consumption
respectively. Decomposition occurring after the second stage leads to the production of melamine complexes that hinder the
overall performance of the catalyst. They asserted that polymeric melamine complexes can be formed both with and without
the catalyst and they do not undergo further decomposition (at least up to 320oC). Wolfgana Held et al. (1990) [14] have
suggested that, the use of urea is usually regarded as safe, it is easy to transport in the vehicle in an aqueous solution, which
make it also easy to dose as necessary. Copper-exchange zeolite catalysts can selectively convert nitrogen oxides over a
much wider range of fuel-air ratios than nobel-metal catalysts and they achieved only 65% of NOx reduction, the urea
dosage was not analyzed, also they have not given the required construction la out of engine arrangement. Also they have not
explained the secondary reaction.
In this study injection of aqueous solutions of urea and Marine Ferromanganese Nodule as SCR in the tail pipe of a
diesel engine fuelled with Pongamia pinata methyl ester (PPME) for the reduction of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) was carried
out in a four stroke, single cylinder, water cooled, constant speed diesel engine.
MARINE FERROMANGANISE NODULE
Ferromanganese Nodule which, is easily available from sea bed, is considered an economically important source of
Ni, Co, Cu, Si and rare earth elements [15]. The physical and chemical properties revels that the nodules in general has high
porosity, large specific surface area [16]. It has high structural stability [17]. It has also acidic and basic sites as it is
chemically an assembly of oxide [18, 15]. The nodule is easily reduced at 200°C to form Fe 3O4, MnO, Ni, Cu, Co and is
oxidized by oxygen to Fe2O3, MnO2, NiO, CoO [19]. The nodule catalyses the oxidation of CO, CH 4 [17], and the CO
oxidation activity is better than Pt.Al2O3 catalyst [20].
SELECTIVE CATALYTIC REDUCTION (SCR)
Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) is an after treatment process. A SCR system attempts to reduce oxides of
nitrogen (NOx) back to harmless nitrogen and elemental oxygen that are constituents of air. It permits the NOx reduction
reaction to take place in an oxidizing atmosphere. It is called “selective” because the catalytic reduction of NOx with
ammonia (NH3) or urea as a reductant occurs preferentially to the oxidation of NH3 or urea with oxygen.
NOx reduction by SCR process takes place without a fuel penalty. It also allows diesel engine developers to take
advantage of the trade-off between NOx and PM without fuel penalty. For mobile source applications ammonia is used as a
selective reductant, in the presence of excess oxygen, to convert over 70% (up to 95%) of NO and NO 2 to nitrogen over a
specified catalyst system. Different precursors of ammonia can be used; but for vehicles the most common option is a
solution of urea in water carefully metered from a separate tank and injected into the exhaust system where it hydrolyzes into
ammonia ahead of the SCR catalyst. Urea solution is a stable, colorless, non-flammable fluid containing 32.5% urea which is
not considered as hazardous to health and does not require any special safety measures.

To determine the kind of catalyst to be used that depend on exhaust gas temperature, reduction of nitrogen oxides
necessary, oxidation of SO2 and the concentration of other exhaust gas constituents.
II. EXPERIMENTAL SETUP
Injection of aqueous solutions of urea from a separate urea tank in the tail pipe of test the diesel engine fuelled with
Pongamia pinata methyl ester (PPME) for the reduction of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) was carried out in a four stroke, single
cylinder, water cooled, constant speed diesel engine with eddy current dynamometer. Four observations were made for the
exhaust gas analysis of various concentration of urea solution 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% by weight with different flow rates of
urea solution by fitting Marine Ferromanganese nodule as oxidant catalyst. The technical specifications of the engine are
given in Table I, and the schematic of the experimental setup is shown in Fig. 1. The power output of the engine was
measured by an electrical dynamometer. AVL gas analyzer was used for the measurement of amounts of exhaust emissions.
Digital control panel was used to collect data such as torque, water flow of engine etc. A three way control valve and needle
are used to maintain the urea flow rate. Urea solution for different concentration is made before the experiment. The
measurements were taken after steady state of the engine for each set of readings.

III. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
The output obtained from the experiment is plotted to determine the effect of the injection of urea solution at
various concentration and flow rate as reductant and marine ferromanganese nodule as SCR on the NOx emission analysis of
the test engine.
1. (NOx) Emission v/s Brake power without urea and SCR
Fig. 2 shows the variations of NOx emissions with brake power of a diesel engine fuelled with Pongamia pinata
methyl ester (PPME) without urea solution and SCR at constant speed of the engine. From the graph it is observed that the
NOx emission increases with the increase of brake power due to high combustion temperature in the combustion chamber.
This indicates that the emission of NOx is very much influenced by the cylinder gas temperature and the availability of
oxygen during combustion.

Fig. 3 shows the variations of NOx emissions with brake power of a diesel engine fuelled with Pongamia pinata
methyl ester (PPME) with 10% urea solution and without SCR at constant speed of the engine. From the graph it is observed
that the NOx emission decreases with the injection of 10% urea solution. It is also observed that as the urea flow rate
increases NOx reduction increases due to better mixing of the exhaust gases in the tail pipe.

Fig. 4 shows the variations of NOx emissions with brake power of a diesel engine fuelled with Pongamia pinata
methyl ester (PPME) with20% urea solution and without SCR at constant speed of the engine. From the graph it is observed
that the NOx emission decreases with the increase of the concentration of the urea solution and urea injection flow rate due
to further better mixing of the exhaust gases in the tail pipe.

methyl ester (PPME) with30% urea solution and without SCR at constant speed of the engine. From the graph it is observed
that the NOx emission further decreases with the increase of the concentration of the urea solution and urea injection flow
rate due to better surface contact of the exhaust gases.

compared to noble metal catalyst.
