Control of Soot Emission from Diesel Engines

Soot emission is a problem in major cities in the world. The number of diesel cars raised a lot in last years in Palestine, were 57,3% of the new cars in 2010 were equipped with diesel engines. This evolution was motivated by diesel engine excellent fuel economy and durability. This paper discusses soot combustion fundamental processes in term of the in-cylinder combustion and emission. The new research requested both simulation and experimental researches to study fundamental process involved in diesel engines in order to decrease the soot emissions of diesel engines and to contribute to the global emission reduction.This project of soot modeling is developed to integrate to the conception cycle the ability of predicting the soot particle concentration from combustion in diesel engines. The goal is to develop a model that can be applied during the concept phase of the engines; this model has for vocation to predict the soot concentration during the combustion cycle
