Abstract
Of major interest, especially in city environments, and increasingly inside vehicles or industrial plants, is the drive to reduce human exposure to nitrogen oxides (NOx). This trend has drawn increasing attention to filtration, which has developed remarkably owing to the capabilities of recently developed mathematical models and novel filter concepts. This paper reports on the study of the kinetic modelling of adsorption of nitrogen dioxide (NO2), collected from the tailpipe of a diesel engine, reacting to calcium nitrate salt (Ca(NO3)2) on a surface flow filter consisting of a coating of fine ground limestone or marble (CaCO3) in combination with micro-nanofibrillated cellulose (MNFC) acting as binder and humectant applied onto a multiply recycled newsprint substrate. The coating and substrate are both porous, but on different pore size scales, with the coating having significantly lower permeability. To maximise gas-coating contact, therefore, the coating deposition is pixelated, achieved by pin coating. An axially dispersed gaseous plug flow model (dispersion model) was used to simulate the transport within the coating pore network structure, following earlier flow modelling studies, and a kinetic reaction model was used to examine NO2 to NO3- conversion in correlation with experimental results. Modelling results indicate a 60.38% conversion of exposed NO2 gas to Ca(NO3)2 under the specific conditions applied, with an absolute relative error between the predicted and experimentally estimated value being 0.81%. The model additionally enabled a prediction of effects of changing parameters over a limited perturbation range, thus assisting in predicting filter element consumption, with attention given to the active component CaCO3 surface as a function of particle size in relation to the gas contact exchange, promoting the reaction over time. It is intended that the Ca(NO3)2 formed from the reaction can go on to be used as a value-added fertiliser, thus contributing to circular economy.

Abstract
This study extensively examined the impact of aluminium oxide (Al2O3) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles addition in the biodiesel fuel derived from Guizotia abyssinica (L.) oil. The assessment of fuel blends, which were created by combining nanoparticles and biodiesel was conducted using energy, exergy, and sustainability indices. The highest recorded power output of 2.81 kW was observed for the GAB20A engine operating at 1800 rpm. The experimental results revealed that the GAB20A exhibited the lowest fuel consumption, with a recorded value of 203 g/kWh, when operated at 1600 rpm among all the tested blend fuels. The blend GAB20A exhibited the highest level of energy efficiency at 1600 rpm of 29.5%, as determined by the study. Simultaneously, it was observed that GAB20 exhibited the lowest energy efficiency at 1200 rpm among all the blend fuels at 25%. The emission levels of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon monoxide (CO) were observed to be quite low, although a little rise in carbon dioxide (CO2) was detected. For validation of results the artificial neural network (ANN) was used and an average of 1.703% difference in energy efficiency, 2.246% decrease in exergy efficiency, and 1.416% difference in sustainability index was found.

Abstract
Recently, diesel engine emissions have been designated as a first-class carcinogen by the World Health Organization (WHO). As such, problems with diesel engine emissions continue to increase around the world. This study aimed to analyze the emissions (CO, NOx, PM) of agricultural tractors during farming operations in order to build a reliable national inventory of air pollutant emissions. Emission data were collected using a portable emission measurement system during actual agricultural operation. The load factor (LF) of the engine was calculated using the collected engine information, the emission factor was analyzed using the LF and the measured emission. The LF was significantly different from the current standard value of 0.48, which is used in Korea to calculate exhaust emissions. The deviation ratio of the emission factor was 0.039 ~ 56.59 compared to Tier-4 emission regulation standards. Under many conditions, the calculated emission factor was higher than the emission limit. Thus, this study provides useful information for emission inventory construction through emission calculation under actual conditions and suggests the need to realize the currently applied emission factor.

Abstract
The increasing share of using biofuels in vehicles (mandated by current regulations) leads to a reduction in particle size, resulting in increased particle toxicity. However, existing regulations disregarded small particles (sub-23 nm) that are more toxic. This impact is more significant during vehicle cold-start operation, which is an inevitable frequent daily driving norm where after-treatment systems prove ineffective. This study investigates the impact of biofuel and lubricating oil (as a source of nanoparticles) on the concentration, size distribution, median diameter of PN and PM, and their proportion at size ranges within accumulation and nucleation modes during four phases of cold-start and warm-up engine operation (diesel-trucks/busses application). The fuels used were 10% and 15% biofuel and with the addition of 5% lubricating oil to the fuel. Results show that as the engine warms up, PN for all the fuels increases and the size of particles decreases. PN concentration with a fully warmed-up engine was up to 132% higher than the cold-start. Sub-23 nm particles accounted for a significant proportion of PN (9%) but a smaller proportion of PM (0.1%). The fuel blend with 5% lubricating oil showed a significant increase in PN concentration and a decrease in particle size during cold-start.

Abstract
Acute exposure to fresh traffic-related air pollutants (TRAPs) can be high for road users, including motorbike drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians. However, evaluating the toxicity of fresh traffic emissions from on-road vehicles is challenging since pollution properties can change dynamically within a short distance and time. This study demonstrated a mobile platform equipped with an On-Board Diagnostic II (OBDII) system, a tailor-made portable emission measurement system, and an electrostatic air-liquid interface exposure system with human monocytic THP-1 cells to characterize on-road tailpipe emissions under real driving conditions. High number concentrations up to 106-107 # cm-3 of ultrafine particles (UFPs) were observed for a gasoline engine at the cold-start stage and a diesel engine during particulate filter regeneration. In particular, a substantial fraction of freshly emitted UFPs within the size less than 23 nm were observed and should be cautioned. The potential toxicity of fresh TRAPs was quantified by cell viability, cytotoxicity, oxidative stress, and inflammatory biomarkers. Results show that the decreased cell viability, increased lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, and high oxidative stress induced by the fresh TRAPs were potentially contributed by gaseous pollutants as well as particles, especially driving with the high idling frequency. Moreover, the dominant contributor to the toxicity is different for gasoline's and diesel's TRAPs. Characterizing on-road air pollutant toxicity as well as physicochemical properties using an innovative mobile platform can fill this knowledge gap.

Abstract
The main focus of the study was to witness the effects of chicken waste-based biodiesel blends along with constant hydrogen injection in a modified diesel engine. Furthermore, the nanoparticle multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) effects on the engine efficiency were also examined. A series of tests was conducted in the single cylinder, water cooled engine fuelled with diesel, CB100N, CB10N, CB30N, and CB50N. Throughout the entire run, constant hydrogen injection of 5 LPM has been maintained. The parameters such as brake thermal efficiency, brake specific fuel consumption, heat release rate and the emissions of different pollutants were determined for a variety of engine speeds. ASTM standards were applied to measure the viscosity, density and calorific value. From the reported findings, it was clear that the addition of the chicken waste biodiesel could be a sustainable substitute for the existing fossil fuels. Although the emission of the pollutants was dropped significantly, there was a massive drop in the BTE values. To compensate such shortage of power, the biodiesel was dispersed with MWCNT at the concentration of 80 ppm. Compared to the regular biodiesel, MWCNT inclusion increased the BTE by 14%. Further, the consumption of the fuel was also reduced marginally. Considering the pollutants, the catalytic activity of the MWCNT reduced the emissions of CO, NOx, and HC at various engine speeds. Besides, 10% reduction in NOx had been reported at lower engine speeds and was reduced to 8% at higher speed regimes. Compiling all together, increasing the concentration of the biodiesel blends obviously reduced the performance values and however, there was a great advantage in terms of the emission magnitudes irrespective of the engine operating conditions.

Abstract
Non-road construction equipment (NRCE) has become a crucial contributor to urban air pollution. However, the current research on NRCE is still in its infancy, and the understanding of its pollutant emissions is not yet clear. In this study, multi-pollutant (CO, HC, NOx, PM2.5, and BC) and CO2 emissions from 12 excavators and 9 loaders under real-world conditions are investigated by using a synchronous platform based on portable emission measurement system (SP-PEMS). We find the instantaneous emission rates of multi-pollutant present significant variability under different operation modes, and pollutant emissions are significantly high under cold start. Generally, multi-pollutant emission factors (EFs) have been all effectively reduced with the tightening of emission standards except for CO and NOx. The BC and PM2.5 emissions are significantly affected by engine types, and those emitted by electronically-controlled fuel injection (EI) engines are at lower concentration levels compared with mechanical fuel injection (MI) engines. The mass ratios of BC/PM2.5 for EI engines are 2.05 times that for MI engines on average. Through comparison, we find the multi-pollutant EFs of NRCE reported by different studies and the Guide vary greatly, and those recommended by the Guide may be overestimated or underestimated to varying degrees. Finally, we recommend the multi-pollutant EFs of NRCE under different emission standards by combining the results of various studies, and which will provide scientific support for the accurately establish of emission inventory.

Abstract
An experimental research is assessed to examine the engine performance and exhaust emissions of direct injection (DI) and indirect injection diesel (IDI) engines fueled with petroleum diesel, biodiesel, and nanoemulsion fuel. The nanoemulsion fuel was produced using a hydrodynamic cavitation reactor. These three fuels were used to study the exhaust emissions, brake power, brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC), brake thermal efficiency (BTE), and exhaust gas temperature at engine speeds ranging from 1100, 1400, 1700, 2000, and 2300 rpm with engine loads of 25, 50, and 75%. Furthermore, three fuels were burned in two types of combustion engines such as DI and IDI diesel engines under identical conditions. The finding showed that using DI and IDI engines influenced the magnitude of emissions as well as the performance with different speeds and loads. By comparing the performance of DI and IDI engines at a maximum engine load of 75%, the most concerning parameter among the efficiency of an engine of BTE of diesel, biodiesel, and nanoemulsion fuel from the DI engine was higher at 24.19, 24.83, and 20.76%, respectively, than that of the IDI engine at 2300 rpm engine speed. At the maximum load and speed of engines, the BSFC of diesel, biodiesel, and nanoemulsion fuel in the DI engine were 4.44, 23.73, and 20% lower than in the IDI engine, respectively. Emission results of the DI and IDI engines were analyzed at 75% load and 2300 rpm speed. The results demonstrated that emissions of NO x from nanoemulsion fuel from the IDI engine was significantly reduced by 82.46% when the values were compared to the DI engine. In terms of CO emissions, the IDI engine emits significantly less than the DI diesel engine. The CO emissions of diesel, biodiesel, and nanoemulsion fuel in the IDI engine were 69.02, 28.95, and 48.75% lower than those in the DI engine, respectively. The studies conclude that the emissions from IDI engines clearly show that pollution from exhaust emissions can be reduced to a low level compared to the DI engine. However, when high-performance engines are considered, the DI engine is recommended rather than the IDI engine.

Abstract
The NO removal efficiency was relatively low in the traditional activated carbon adsorption process. In this work, a gas pre-magnetization and activated carbon adsorption process was developed to enhance the adsorption of NO onto activated carbon. In this innovative and green process, the mixed gas was magnetized in the external magnetic field and then absorbed by activated carbon. The results indicated that the maximal removal rate of NO could be increased from 75.0% to 89.5%, and the NO adsorption capacity of commercial activated carbon in one hour elevated from 2.28 to 2.60 mg/g when the magnetic induction intensity of external magnetic field increased from 0 T to 2 T. The strengthening mechanism of the gas pre-magnetization was investigated. It was found that magnetic field could elevate the oxidation rate of NO by 11.4% and thus promote the physical adsorption of NO onto activated carbon. External magnetic field could increase the reaction activity of NO and promote the chemical reaction between NO and some functional groups (CO, CO and COOH) on the activated carbon and thus promote the chemisorption process of NO.

Abstract
Due to the increasing air pollution from diesel engines and the shortage of conventional fossil fuels, many experimental and numerical types of research have been carried out and published in the literature over the past few decades to find a new, sustainable, and alternative fuels. Biodiesel is an appropriate alternate solution for diesel engines because it is renewable, non-toxic, and eco-friendly. According to the European Academies Science Advisory Council, biodiesel evolution is broadly classified into four generations. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the production, properties, combustion, performance, and emission characteristics of diesel engines using different generations of biodiesel as an alternative fuel to replace fossil-based diesel and summarizes the primary feedstocks and properties of different generations of biodiesel compared with diesel. The general impression is that the use of different generations of biodiesel decreased 30% CO, 50% HC, and 70% smoke emissions compared with diesel. Engine performance is slightly decreased by an average of 3.13%, 89.56%, and 11.98% for higher density, viscosity, and cetane, respectively, while having a 7.96% lower heating value compared with diesel. A certain ratio of biodiesel as fuel instead of fossil diesel combined with advanced after-treatment technology is the main trend of future diesel engine development.

Abstract
One of the main trends in the development of modern engine building is the use of biodiesel fuel, which can lead to a decrease in the reliability of engines that are not adapted to it. However, at present there is no general method for determining the reliability of fuel systems of internal combustion engines. In this paper, a reliability model of engine fuel systems when operating on biofuel has been developed. Comprehensive indicators for assessing the reliability of diesel engine fuel systems are the coefficient of readiness and technical use. The availability factor of the fuel system when operating on biodiesel fuel without the replacement of structural materials was 0.66, while with the replacement it was 0.71, and the coefficient of technical utilization without replacement of materials was 0.36, and with the replacement of 0.4. Recommendations are given to improve the reliability of the engine fuel system components. The resulting model allows for complex comparisons of the effectiveness of various ways to improve the reliability of engines running on biodiesel fuel.
