Charcoal Based Exhaust System

Thermal Engineering

Cooler is also this project shows how we can reduce the concentration of harmful content of the exhaust gases. To achieve this objective we have prepared a project “Charcoal Based Exhaust System” using the activated charcoal. As the exhaust is passed through the charcoal bed minimization of the harmful elements take place. In today’s developing world air pollution is increasing day by day, and automobile is one of the major reasons for this pollution. The automobile exhaust is responsible for more than 75% of total air pollution. With rapidly increasing population the total vehicles on the world’s road are more than 750 million. The main pollutants emitted by the vehicles are CO, HC, NOx and SOx. Automobiles are responsible for 80% of total co emissions, 36% of HCs, 44% of NOx, 4% of SOx and 18% of particulate matter. We have used activated charcoal and silica gel as it has a property of adsorption. This property is very useful as when various carbon and nitrogen content passes through it, it sticks to its surface, reacts with it and results in release of non-pollutant gases. According to our theoretical analysis and practical approach we found that our system efficiently reduced the percentage of harmful content from the automobile exhaust system.
