Impact of Exhaust Gas Recirculation on NOx Emissions and Efficiency in Diesel Engines
Abstract: Abstract Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) has emerged as a pivotal strategy to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from diesel engines, which significantly contribute to air pollution and environmental degradation. NOx emissions pose serious concerns due to their role in forming smog, acid rain, and adverse health impacts. By recirculating a portion of the exhaust back into the intake manifold, EGR reduces these emissions by restricting the manufacturing of NOx and …
