Oxidation of Soot Particles in Diesel Exhaust Emission using Plasma Source

Fossil fuels are the main source of energy that can be extracted to other mechanical energies in less complicated format. Automobiles as well as industries utilize this energy transformation process for getting required energy. Internal combustion engines were developed with the aim that maximum energy must be used while certain fixed quantity of fuel is combusted. Compact design of engines helped to have efficiency above sixty percentages. But there had been waste products, when the fossil fuels are burnt. These were not eco-friendly. During first half of 20th century, there witnessed non eco-friendly gas amount at marginable limit. This resulted to have restriction of emission of certain gases into atmosphere. This project work is focused on oxidation of soot particles that may present in the diesel engine exhaust gas. Mostly soot particles are developed due to incomplete combustion of fuel. Several techniques introduced to control emission: Exhaust Gas Recirculation, Selective Catalytic Reduction etc. for further reduction of pollutants. But individual Technique has some range of temperature & pressure to give their best performance. Soot Particles are one among the component in Particulate Matter. They can be burnt into CO2 with additional energy.
