Impact of low NOx strategies on holistic emission reduction from a CI engine over transient conditions (2020)
Journal Article
van Niekerk, A., Drew, B., Larsen, N., & Kay, P. (2021). Impact of low NOx strategies on holistic emission reduction from a CI engine over transient conditions. International Journal of Engine Research, 22(11), 3286-3299. https://doi.org/10.1177/1468087420973887

The use of biofuels to replace fossil fuels as well as more stringent emission regulations for internal combustion engines cause a challenge for the engine manufacturers to build engines that can cope with a wide range of fuels, but still offer low e...
