Abstract |
Nitrogen oxides emitted from spark ignition engines play a significant role in the production of photochemical smog. A nitric oxide product gas monitoring apparatus was developed which related absorption of ultraviolet radiation at the (0,0) gamma band of nitric oxide to the NO concentration in the combustion product gas a few seconds after combustion was complete. It was determined that the rate of expansion of the product gas immediately after attainment of peak pressure does not have a substantial effect on measured product gas concentration of NO. A time-resolved nitric oxide monitoring technique, intended to monitor NO concentration during, and subsequent to the completion of combustion was also devised. Limited qualitative data were acquired. (Modified author abstract) |
