Flashbacks of Last Lecture Moving a vehicle along a highway requires the expenditure of mechanical power to turn the wheels drag force – Part of this power is needed to overcome the drag force ( 气动阻力 ) exerted by the air on the moving vehicle rolling resistance – Another part is needed to counter the resistance of the tires moving over the ground, called the rolling resistance ( 滚动阻力 ) gravitational field – If the vehicle is climbing a hill, additional power is needed to lift it vertically in the earth’s gravitational field ( 重力场 ) kinetic energy – When the vehicle accelerates to a higher speed, power is needed to increase the kinetic energy ( 动能 ) of the vehicle

Flashbacks of Last Lecture The total power thus becomes For a given driving cycle, heavy cars will require more powerful engines and will consume more fuel, more or less in proportion to vehicle mass, than will light vehicles steady speed For driving at a steady speed ( 等速 / 恒速 ), only rolling and aerodynamic resistance must be overcome, the power required being

Flashbacks of Last Lecture There are two major methods to improve vehicle fuel efficiency: improvements to the vehicle design and to the power source

Transportation: Electric Drive Vehicles electric drive motors lead-acid storage batteries In the earliest years of the development of the automobile, some were powered by electric drive motors ( 电力驱动电机 ) energized by lead-acid storage batteries ( 铅酸蓄电池 ) In the last few years, advances in energy storage systems and the energy savings to be made by storing vehicle braking power make such vehicles attractive from both the emissions and vehicle efficiency point of view

Transportation: Electric Drive Vehicles Limited Range – Large battery weight/size Long Charge times High initial cost Battery life Consumer acceptance Grid Integration

Transportation: Electric Drive Vehicles Hybrid vehicles are those that combine conventional power sources (SI or CI engines) with electric motors to power the vehicle The motor/generator can store energy in a battery bank when excess power is available, during deceleration or when the power need is less than what the combustion engine can deliver, and can deliver extra power to the wheels when it is temporarily needed for acceleration or hill climbing

Transportation: Electric Drive Vehicles Hybrid vehicles are more fuel efficient (for equal mass) This substantial advantage of the hybrid over conventional design of equal mass is a composite of braking energy recovery, more efficient engine operating conditions (despite the same driving cycle), and possibly a higher peak engine efficiency

Transportation: Electric Drive Vehicles Prototypes of electric drive vehicles whose electric power is supplied by fuel cells have been under development for several decades Such vehicles could potentially provide higher vehicle fuel efficiencies than conventional vehicles with little or no air pollutant emissions

Transportation: Electric Drive Vehicles The most economical and energy efficient source of hydrogen, a synthetic fuel, is by reforming from a fossil fuel such as natural gas, oil, or coal, or from another synthetic fuel like methanol or ethanol – The reforming operation preserves at best only 80% of the parent fuel’s heating value – If hydrogen is liquified for storage on the vehicle, rather than being stored as a compressed gas in tanks, an additional energy penalty of about 30% is incurred because energy is needed to liquify hydrogen at the very low temperature of −252.8 ◦ C The synthetic fuel transformation penalties diminish the fuel efficiency advantage of fuel cells compared to conventional internal combustion engines in vehicles fueled by conventional hydrocarbon fuels

Transportation: Vehicle Emissions exhaust emissions photochemical air pollution ozone concentrations By the middle of the twentieth century, vehicle exhaust emissions ( 废气排放 / 尾气排放 ) were recognized to be an important contributor to urban photochemical air pollution ( 光化学的空气污染 ), e.g., high level of ground ozone concentrations ( 臭氧浓度 ) – These problems are more acute in lower latitude locations, especially in developing countries where vehicle emission controls are not yet stringent stationary sources abatement – Vehicles are mobile and more numerous than stationary sources ( 固定 污染源 ), and they present different problems for abatement ( 消减 ) It is more effective to require a few vehicle manufacturers to install control equipment on millions of new vehicles rather than to require millions of vehicle owners to try to reduce their own vehicle’s emissions

Transportation: Vehicle Emissions exhaust emissions evaporative emissions Vehicle emissions to the atmosphere are of two kinds: exhaust emissions ( 废气排放 / 尾气排放 ) and evaporative emissions ( 蒸发排放 ) combustion gases – The first are the combustion gases ( 燃烧气体 ) emitted while the engine is running fuel vapors – The second are emissions of fuel vapors ( 燃油蒸气 ) from the fuel supply system and the engine when the engine is not operating useful life The federal government regulates both of these emissions by requiring the manufacturers of new vehicles sold in the United States to provide the technology needed to limit these emissions for the useful life ( 使用寿命 ) of the vehicle and to warrant the performance of these control systems

Transportation: Vehicle Emissions dynamometerFederal Test Procedure FTP pollutant content To certify a vehicle class for exhaust emissions, the manufacturer must test a prototype vehicle on a dynamometer ( 测功机 ) following the Federal Test Procedure (FTP) ( 联邦试验程序 ), during which exhaust gases are collected and later analyzed for pollutant content ( 污染物含 量 ), nonmethane hydrocarbons NMHC organic gases NMOGcarbon monoxide COnitrogen oxides NO x particulate matter PMformaldehydeHCHO – Regulated pollutants include nonmethane hydrocarbons (NMHC) ( 非 甲烷碳氢化合物 ) or organic gases (NMOG) ( 有机气体 ), carbon monoxide (CO) ( 一氧化碳 ), nitrogen oxides (NO x ) ( 氮氧化物 ), particulate matter (PM) ( 颗粒物 ), and formaldehyde (HCHO) ( 甲醛 ) – The mass of each pollutant collected from the exhaust during the test is reported as grams per mile model year – If the prototype vehicle’s exhaust emissions do not exceed the standards set for its vehicle type, vehicles of its class and model year ( 车型年 ) may then be sold by the manufacturer

Transportation: Vehicle Emissions Evaporative emissions are tested for two conditions: one where the vehicle is at rest after sufficient use to have brought it to operating temperature, the other for a prolonged period of nonuse impermeable bag ( 防渗袋 ) In these tests the vehicle is enclosed in an impermeable bag ( 防渗袋 ) of known volume, and the vapor mass is subsequently determined

Transportation: Vehicle Emissions Environmental Protection Agency In the United States, vehicle emission standards are set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ( 环境保护局 ) in accordance with the provisions of federal air-quality legislation ubiquity mobility ameliorate its emissions The regulation is based upon the recognition of the ubiquity ( 无处不在 ) and mobility ( 流动性 ) of the automobile, its concentration in urban areas, its contribution to urban and regional air-quality problems, and the ability of the manufacturer, and not the owner, to ameliorate its emissions ( 改善排放 ) In the years since the early 1970s, when regulation was first introduced, emission standards have become more stringent as the manufacturers devised better technologies

Transportation: Vehicle Emissions Could you please make a survey on China vehicle exhaust emission standards and compare them with those of US?

Transportation: Vehicle Emissions exhaust pollutants remnants Vehicle exhaust pollutants ( 排气污染物 ) are the remnants ( 残 余物 ) of an incomplete combustion process in the engine cylinder – The principal molecules of this type are NO, CO, and various kinds of hydrocarbon (HC) molecules, all of which can contaminate the atmosphere cumulative effects – The purpose of vehicle emission control technology is to reduce the amounts of these pollutants to such low values that the cumulative effects ( 累积效应 ) of vehicles will not be great enough to cause any damage to living systems, including humans

Transportation: Vehicle Emissions spark plug In SI engines, the amount of each of principal pollutants is sensitive to the air/fuel ratio of the mixture inducted into the cylinder prior to ignition by the spark plug ( 火花塞 ) – The proportion of air to fuel must not be too far from the stoichiometric value for the engine to function properly and efficiently fuel-rich – If the mixture is fuel-rich ( 富燃 ) (more fuel than can be completely oxidized by the available oxygen), some CO will be formed and not all of the fuel’s heating value will be released combustion product – If the mixture is fuel-lean ( 贫燃 ) (excess, unused oxygen), the combustion product ( 燃烧产物 ) temperature and pressure will be less, resulting in less engine work per cycle

Transportation: Vehicle Emissions

For pollutants to reach the very low levels now being required of road vehicle exhaust streams, two steps must be undertaken simultaneously engine-out emissions – The first is to reduce as much as possible the pollutant concentrations in the exhaust gas as it leaves the engine (engine-out emissions ( 发动 机排放 )) exhaust gas treatment systems tailpipe – The second is to reduce these emissions even further by exhaust gas treatment systems ( 废气处理系统 ) located between the engine and the tailpipe ( 尾喷管 )

Transportation: Vehicle Emissions Reducing engine-out emissions – Precise control of air/fuel ratio Low values of the three principal pollutants—HC, CO, and NO—can be maintained if the air/fuel ratio is kept close to its stoichiometric value under all operating conditions Fuel injection close control fuel flow intake air flow Fuel injection ( 燃油喷射 ) permits close control ( 闭环控制 ) over fuel flow ( 燃油流 量 ) to each cylinder, and it can be computer-controlled to be proportionate to the intake air flow ( 进气流量 ) – Exhaust gas recirculation – Exhaust gas recirculation ( 废气再循环 ) fresh charge At the end of the exhaust stroke, when the exhaust valve has closed and the intake valve opens to admit a fresh charge ( 新鲜充量 ) of air–fuel mixture, the residual volume of the cylinder is filled with exhaust gas, which mixes with the incoming fresh charge diluting Because the amount of NO formed is very sensitive to the peak temperature reached during combustion, we can reduce engine-out NO by diluting ( 稀释 ) the fresh charge with even more exhaust gas than is normally encountered by varying the exhaust and inlet valve timing or pumping exhaust gas from the exhaust system into the intake system

Transportation: Vehicle Emissions Catalytic converters Catalytic converters ( 催化转换器 ) for exhaust gas treatment – The exhaust gas pollutants—HC, CO, and NO—are not in thermochemical equilibrium with the rest of the exhaust gas – It should be possible to oxidize both HC and CO to CO 2 and H 2 O if enough oxygen is present, and to reduce NO to N 2 and O 2 solid surface coated with a catalyst – To make this happen quickly enough, these molecules must attach themselves to a solid surface coated with a catalyst ( 涂有催化剂的固体表面 ), where they can react oxidation–reduction platinum – Current oxidation–reduction ( 氧化 — 还原 ) catalysts utilize such catalysts as platinum ( 铂 ) and rhodium ( 铑 ), and they must be heated to 250 ◦ C or more to be effective

Transportation: Vehicle Emissions

Evaporative emissions fuel tank – Fuel stored in the fuel tank ( 油箱 ) emits vapor into the air space above the fuel surface within the tank, which can leak to the atmosphere during fuel refilling operations and during diurnal atmospheric temperature and pressure changes – At engine shutdown, unburned fuel remains in the engine and can subsequently leak to the atmosphere from the air intake or exhaust – Fuel vapor has a different chemical composition than does the liquid fuel vapor absorbing filter vent line – Fuel tank vapor emissions are controlled by placing a vapor absorbing filter ( 蒸气吸附过 滤器 ) in the vent line ( 通风管 ) between the fuel tank air space and the atmosphere

Transportation: Vehicle Emissions Fuel quality and its regulation anti-knock lead additives – Fuel anti-knock lead additives ( 铅抗爆添加剂 ) and sulfur have been restricted to ensure the successful operation of exhaust gas catalytic converters – Other regulation of fuel properties have been directed at both exhaust and evaporative emissions fuel refiners volatile components – To achieve desirable anti-knock properties, fuel refiners ( 炼油厂 ) change the composition of the fuel, utilizing more volatile components ( 易挥发成份 ) that increase vapor pressure and thereby evaporative emissions
