Atmospheric Boundary Layer Processes: Impacts on Weather Patterns and Climate Change
Abstract: The atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) is a vital component of the Earth's climate system, acting as the interface between the terrestrial surface and the overlying atmosphere. This layer, typically extending from the surface to a height of a few hundred meters, is characterized by strong gradients in meteorological variables such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and atmospheric pressure. Understanding the dynamics of the ABL is essential for comprehending weather phenomena, …

Managing Blow-by in Modern Engines: A Comprehensive Review of Crankcase Ventilation Technologies
Abstract: Blow-by in internal combustion (IC) engines occurs when high-pressure combustion gases escape past the piston rings into the crankcase. These gases typically carry oil aerosols, unburned hydrocarbons, and fine particulate matter, which, if not effectively managed, can disrupt lubrication, accelerate component wear, and contribute to harmful emissions. Effective crankcase ventilation is therefore essential not only for ensuring engine durability but also for meeting increasingly stringent emission regulations. This paper examines …

Reduction of Pollutant for SI Engine Using Argon and Oxy-hydrogen
Abstract: Reducing the emission associated with oil combustion is gaining increasing interest worldwide. Due to their dangerous effects on human health, vegetation and climate, various pre-combustion, in-cylinder and post combustion techniques have been tried for their abatement. The combustion of a hydrocarbon fuel with air produces mainly carbon dioxide(CO2) and Water(H2O). However, internal combustion engines are not perfectly efficient, so some of the fuel is not burned, which results in the …
