| dc.description.abstract | Hydrocarbon emissions are generated from the presence of unburned fuel in the exhaust of a petrol engine. Liquid fuels
contain 10 to 20 major species of hydrocarbon and some 100 to 200 minor species. Most of these species are found in the
exhaust gas of a petrol engine. However, some of the exhaust hydrocarbons are not found in the parent fuel, but are
hydrocarbons derived from the fuel whose structure was altered within the cylinder by incomplete chemical reaction. About
50% of the total hydrocarbons are emitted in this way. In this paper a mathematical model utilising the response surface
methodology (RSM) has been developed for predicting the hydrocarbon (HC) emission from a petrol engine. The adequacy of
the model has been investigated statistically by the analysis of variance (ANOVA) as well. Based on the response models,
contours have been plotted in throttle-speed planes. For a given surface, these contours help to predict the setting parameters
for minimum hydrocarbon emission. | en_US |
