I. C. Engines consume large amounts of fossil fuel emitting harmful pollutants like carbon monoxide (CO), unburnt hydrocarbons (UBHC), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx). By using a catalytic converter (CC), the carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon emissions can be transformed into less harmful carbon dioxide (CO2) & water vapor (H2O). Currently available CC’s are using costly noble metals like platinum (pt), palladium (pd), rhodium (rh) etc., hence making them expensive. This paper deals with the use of low-cost palletized silver coated alumina as the catalyst element in a CC. In this study, alumina and silver were used in the ratio of 10:1. All tests have been conducted on a stationary S.I. Engine at a constant speed of 1500 r.p.m with and without CC. Also, the performance of the palletized CC in combination with promoters like Bismuth, Cerium and Lanthanum was tested which have shown better results than silver alone as the coating element. It has been experimentally determined that the CO emissions have dropped from 7.25 (% vol) to 3.03(% vol) and the HC values have reduced from 350 ppm to 190 ppm.

The measurement of air pollutants emitted to the atmosphere in exhaust gases from stationary gas turbines must be made in accordance with applicable government specifications in those cases where the measurements are being made to determine compliance with regulations. This paper reviews the methods for measuring opacity, sulfur dioxide, oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, oxygen, hydrocarbons, and particulates. In addition, the paper references the Federal Register (volume, number, and page) in which the official specification appears. Other methods, including ASME, SAE, and ASTM, are listed where applicable.

In today’s world we see that the demand for gasoline and cars keep increasing and one problem which is significantly seen is that we either opt for a fuel which provides higher performance or for a fuel which provides lesser emissions. In this study we aim to provide higher performance and lower emissions by combining two chemicals or octane boosters, namely ethanol and toluene with gasoline and find out its performance and emission characteristics when compared with traditional gasoline and ethanol-gasoline blend. In this study we have made four blends which are PP, E10, E10T5 and E20T5 which are tested against two performance parameters which are Specific Fuel Consumption, Brake Thermal Efficiency with respect to brake power and emissions parameter which are Carbon Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, Oxides of Nitrogen and Hydrocarbon with respect to brake power as well. In each of these performance and emissions parameters, the blends are compared and we find that E20T5 has the highest performance and E10T5 has the lowest emission.
