If you are wondering how to find a smog test station nearby, note that certain states, such as Arizona, provide you with a list of conveniently located centers on their official websites.When conducting emissions testing, you may also need to present specific documents, depending on your ...
The magnitudes of the three mediating effects are further compared. Agricultural industrial structure is the most prominent mediator, followed by the agricultural technological progress and production scale. Additionally, the Sobel test was adopted to verify the robustness of the mediating effect. As show...
This was followed by a change of the lubricating oil for the next test cycle when a new fuel type was introduced. The exchange of the lubrication oil took one day and consisted of full draining of the used oil over night, four flushing cycles, exchange of oil filters, and a running-in...
Fig. 1: Substantial anthropogenic and soil NOxemissions lead to high NO2levels over the North China Plain (NCP). Panelsaandbshow the anthropogenic NOxemissions in July 2017 from the Multi-resolution Emission Inventory for China (MEIC) and the soil NOxemissions calculated from the Berkeley-Dalhous...
In the near term, data centers and generative AI are shifting the energy demand profile, but it’s small relative to the scale-up we’re talking about. Humayun Tai:Yes, there’s a much larger challenge at hand, but I would not underestimate the innovation going on in the supply-and-dem...
A scope showed us high frequency E- and H-fields near the transistor. Interposing a piece of grounded sheet metal between the transistor and the filter section altered the emissions a lot. (Be sure to wrap the metal in insulation if you do this!) Advertisement A second piece of metal ...
President Obama recently signed the Formaldehyde Standards for Composite Wood Act into law. What does this mean? Basically, the man-made products used to build furniture (plywood, MDF, particle board, etc..) contain certain amounts of formaldehyde. Generally speaking, the cheaper the manufacturing...
Steve Fitzpatrick writes in with a short essay: Graphic by NASA Ocean CO2 absorption On May 11 you reposted a blog from Dr. Roy Spencer, where he suggests that much of the increase in atmospheric CO2 could be due to warming of the oceans, and where he pr
Before the tests, the vehicles are subjected to a coastdown test, which consists of accelerating the vehicle to a certain speed and then, at idle gear, braking it using the internal resistance of the drive system and the aerodynamic resistance of the vehicle. Internal drag results from the fr...
A cost-effective hardware solution to obtain the dependence of CO emissions on O2 concentration in flue gas during combustion and new control algorithms was implemented into the process control and monitoring system of the biomass-fired boilers to test them in the real operation. A description of ...
