POSSIBILITIES TO REDUCE POLLUTANT EMISSIONS IN NAVAL DIESEL ENGINES
Abstract
The combustion process is, by far, the most important and complex process that takes place in engines. Its importance is given by the fact that it provides the flow of energy used in the engine and is the source of all pollutant emissions, the efficiency of the engine being directly influenced by it. The mechanisms of combustion are particularly complex and are not fully known even today, the most difficult problem being the mechanisms of mixture formation and the chemistry of the combustion process. Over time, depending on the evolution of knowledge in the field and computer technology, various mathematical models have been developed, which have. Emission estimation and theoretical verification, in the first phase, of the solutions applicable to in-service engines
could greatly reduce research and production costs, given that there are a variety of engines on
board ships and measurements in operation are very difficult.
