What is an Experiment?

10.3K
An experiment is a planned activity carried out under controlled conditions. The purpose of an experiment is to investigate the relationship between two variables. When one variable causes change in another, we call the first variable the explanatory or independent variable. The affected variable is called the response or dependent variable. In a randomized experiment, the researcher manipulates values of the explanatory variable and measures the resulting changes in the response variable. The...

Shock Waves01:16

Shock Waves

2.0K
While deriving the Doppler formula for the observed frequency of a sound wave, it is assumed that the speed of sound in the medium is greater than the source's speed through it. When this condition is breached, a shock wave occurs.
When the source's speed approaches the speed of sound, constructive interference between successive wavefronts emitted by the source occurs immediately behind it. Initially, scientists believed that this constructive interference would result in such high...

What are Second Messengers?

82.1K
Because many receptor binding ligands are hydrophilic, they do not cross the cell membrane and thus their message must be relayed to a second messenger on the inside. There are several second messenger pathways, each with their own way of relaying information. G-protein coupled receptors can activate both phosphoinositol and cyclic AMP (cAMP) second messenger pathways. The phosphoinositol path is active when the receptor induces phospholipase C to hydrolyze the phospholipid,...

Transmission Electron Microscopy01:15

Transmission Electron Microscopy

5.3K
In 1931, physicist Ernst Ruska—building on the idea that magnetic fields can direct an electron beam just as lenses can direct a beam of light in an optical microscope—developed the first prototype of the electron microscope. This development led to the development of the field of electron microscopy. In the transmission electron microscope (TEM), electrons are produced by a hot tungsten element and accelerated by a potential difference in an electron gun, which gives them up to 400...

What is Behavior?00:54

What is Behavior?

8.9K
Behaviors are actions that an organism engages in—they can be related to finding food, reproducing, defending against threats, and many other possible actions. Behaviors include activities related to the environment around the animal—such as migration—as well as social interactions within a species or population. Many behaviors involve motor output—that is, muscle movements—while others involve less visible actions, such as learning.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Chemical Engineering
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Diesel heavy-duty vehicle (HDV) exhaust contains pollutants like nitrogen oxides (NOx).
  • Excess oxygen in HDV exhaust impedes efficient NOx reduction in conventional catalytic converters.
  • Current NOx reduction methods, like AdBlue®, use ammonia, which is toxic at high concentrations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an Oxygen Reduction System (ORS) for diesel engines.
  • To eliminate oxygen from exhaust gas, facilitating efficient NOx reduction.
  • To avoid the need for ammonia-based reduction agents.

Main Methods:

  • The proposed ORS utilizes dense composite dual-phase membranes.
  • These membranes allow the permeation of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
  • A carbonate ion-based technology leverages CO2 concentration gradients for oxygen removal without external power.

Main Results:

  • The ORS effectively removes oxygen from diesel engine exhaust gas.
  • The system operates without requiring additional power input.
  • Demonstrated feasibility of oxygen reduction for enhanced NOx abatement.

Conclusions:

  • The developed Oxygen Reduction System shows promise for diesel HDV emission control.
  • This technology offers a potential ammonia-free solution for NOx reduction.
  • The carbonate ion-based membrane system presents an energy-efficient approach to exhaust gas treatment.
