transmission: There is no clutch pedal in an automatic transmission car. There is no gear shift in an automatic transmission car. Once you put the transmission into Drive‚ everything else is automatic! Both the automatic transmission (plus its torque converter) and a manual transmission (with its clutch) accomplish exactly the same thing‚ but they do it in totally different ways. It turns out that the way an automatic transmission does it is absolutely amazing! Location of the automatic transmission

combustion occurs efficiently when the fuel is injected just before TDC. However the rate of NO formation may be checked by implementing Exhaust Gas Recirculation. Furthermore‚ the amount of NOx in the exhaust gases may also be reduced using catalytic converters or SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) technique. EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) EGR works by recirculating a portion of an engine ’s exhaust gas back to the engine cylinders. This inert exhaust reduces the mass of combustible material in the

Nevertheless‚ the catalytic converter cannot be used on leaded petrol vehicles because Lead will poison the catalyst such as Platinum inside the converter.

But in numerous cities across the country‚ the personal automobile is the single greatest polluter‚ as emissions from millions of vehicles on the road add up. Driving a private car is probably a typical citizen’s most “polluting” daily

Modern spark-ignited combustion engines use oxygen sensors and catalytic converters as part of an attempt by governments working with automakers to reduce exhaust emissions. Information on oxygen concentration is sent to the engine management computer or ECU‚ which adjusts the amount of fuel injected into the engine to compensate
