Content preview from Advanced Thermodynamics for Engineers, 2nd Edition
itself. Lean burn catalysts, based on zeolites, are currently under research and will have a major impact
on engine operation both spark-ignition and diesel.
Another pollutant from diesel engines is the particulates. These are a significant problem and at-
tempts have been made to control them by traps. Cyclone traps are being investigated, as well as
gauze-based devices. A major problem is that after a short time the trap becomes full and the carbon
has to be removed. Attempts have been made to achieve this by burning the particulates, either by self-
heating or external heating. At present this area is still being investigated.
