Abstract

Particulate Matter (PM) is one of the major harmful substances in diesel exhaust gas. Technologies like the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) and Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) have been positioned at the exhaust to reduce the quantity of harmful substances released to the environment. This paper highlights the factors that affect combustion in diesel engines and the potential of the introduction of electromagnetic field in the combustion chamber on the improvement of the diesel engine efficiency and reduction in the quantity of Particulate Matter (PM) produced. Keywords: Magnetic Field, Diesel Fuel, Sauter Mean Diameter, Viscosity, Combustion.
