Fall 2014
The experimental work described in this thesis was conducted to study the particulate emissions from different automotive applications. The effect of fuel choice (gasoline vs. liquefied petroleum gas, LPG) on particle emissions from passenger vehicles was studied. It was shown LPG produces 5...

To reduce CO2 emissions, the aviation industry has begun looking into alternative biofuels as a replacement for conventional fossil-fuel based jet fuel. Although biofuels may reduce aircraft CO2 emissions, it is also important to consider how other emissions are effected such as particle...

In this work, particles emissions from flares with entrained droplets were characterized during the operations of oil/gas wells. It is a likely scenario that droplets of flowback fluids or produced water entrain in the flare gas and burn in an open flame. Major ions found in these fluids are...

Flaring has been a routine practice in the petroleum and petrochemical industry and flaring levels have remained virtually constant over the past ten years despite the efforts to reduce or eliminate the activity. Injecting an inert fluid into the combustion area in order to induce complete...

The centrifugal particle mass analyzer (CPMA)-electrometer system has been proposed as an alternative method of calibration for devices that measure black carbon. This system is proposed to replace the current calibration standard of NIOSH 5040. The repeatability and intermediate precision of the...
