Oxides of nitrogen are a concern as effluents to atmospheres
because they participate in photochemical reactions which produce
smog, because they attenuate sunlight which gives the atmosphere a
reddish brown cast, and because of their toxic properties and the
health hazards associated with the photochemical products they produce.
Oxides of...
The importance of automobile exhaust as a source of atmospheric pollutants has been recognized for several years. With the
control of stationary sources in geographic areas such as Los
Angeles County, the automobile has become the major uncontrolled
source of air pollution.

The capabilities of the Tektronix Model J2C/7J20 Rapid Scanning
Spectrometer for the determination of molecular species resulting from
Otto cycle combustion were experimentally investigated after a literature
search of the subject area. Combustion of hydrogen-air, carbon monoxideair,
and gasoline-air mixtures in the combustion chamber of a Cooperative
Fuel Research engine...
This thesis describes a Truck Performance Simulation Model developed
for use in a United States Department of Transportation university
research project entitled "The Energy, Economic and Environmental
Consequences of Increased Vehicle Size and Weight." The performance
of the truck is found by specifying its engine, driveline and tire
characteristics and...
