ASSESSMENT OF THE NUMBER OF GAS EXHAUSTED FROM FUEL COMBUSTION

Abstract

Vehicle exhaust is one of the main sources of air pollution. The negative impacts of vehicle emissions on human health and the climate have prompted experts to focus their efforts on reducing emissions. The implementation of stricter standards of emission has led to the development of vehicles, engines and technologies for post-treatment of exhaust gases, as well as fuel compositions. On the other hand, the number of vehicles and trips would increase due to the growth of population and economy. These factors lead to a change in the amount of chemical composition of vehicle emissions.

Automobile exhaust gas emissions have a negative impact on the environment through high levels of toxic substances in the air, known or suspected to be carcinogens to humans and animals. Possible exposures to toxic substances cause neurological, cardiovascular, respiratory, reproductive and immune damage.

Automobile exhaust gas emissions arise as a result of the combustion of fuels such as gasoline, diesel fuel, and liquefied gas in internal combustion engines.

In this study, we considered the dependence of the amount of exhaust gas emissions from the combustion of gasoline and diesel fuel and estimated the amount of these emissions using mathematical methods. It is important to understand the factors that influence vehicle emissions and create an appropriate model for estimating the emissions of working vehicles. 

Considering that the amount of CO₂ is mainly studied from the composition of exhaust gases, coefficients were developed by which the amount of CO, N_xO_y, aldehydes and hydrocarbons were calculated depending on the amount of gasoline and diesel fuel consumed.
