Car exhaust, gas flow system in the car,air pollution filter

In summary, the car exhaust system is responsible for removing harmful gases from the engine, while the gas flow system delivers fuel for combustion. An air pollution filter helps to improve air quality and protect the engine. The main pollutants emitted from car exhaust are carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and hydrocarbons, and reducing air pollution from car exhaust can be achieved through regular maintenance, alternative transportation, and stricter regulations.

In this time I try to search after information about 2 things:
1. the gas flow system in the car and the car exhaust
2. the materials that use in air pollution filters
If you know good website / professor / paper / book / video lecture / other in one of this area so I will glad if you can let me know about that

Hi. Maybe try looking around in the Automotive Engineering subsection. It's at the top of the main Mechanical Engineering page. There might already be something about this on there.

1. How does a car exhaust system work?

The car exhaust system is responsible for removing the waste gases produced by the engine during the combustion process. These gases, such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbons, are harmful to both human health and the environment. The exhaust system uses a series of pipes and chambers to guide the exhaust gases away from the engine and out of the car through the tailpipe.

2. What is the purpose of a gas flow system in a car?

The gas flow system in a car is responsible for delivering fuel to the engine for combustion. It includes components such as the fuel tank, fuel pump, fuel injectors, and fuel lines. The system regulates the flow of fuel to ensure the right amount is delivered to the engine for efficient combustion and power output.

3. How does an air pollution filter work?

An air pollution filter, also known as an air filter or an engine air filter, is responsible for filtering out harmful particles and pollutants from the air that enters the engine. It is made up of a porous material, such as paper or cotton, that traps particles while still allowing air to flow through. This helps to improve the air quality and protect the engine from damage caused by contaminants.

4. What are the main pollutants emitted from car exhaust?

The main pollutants emitted from car exhaust include carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and hydrocarbons. These pollutants are harmful to human health and can contribute to air pollution, smog, and acid rain. They also have adverse effects on the environment, such as damaging plants and contributing to climate change.

5. How can we reduce air pollution from car exhaust?

There are several ways to reduce air pollution from car exhaust, including regularly maintaining and tuning up your car to ensure it is running efficiently and producing less pollution. Other methods include using alternative modes of transportation, such as walking, biking, or taking public transportation, and choosing a fuel-efficient or electric vehicle. Additionally, implementing stricter emissions standards and regulations can also help to reduce air pollution from car exhaust.
