DIESEL EXHAUST OPACITY: AT THE PORT AND A METER DOWNSTREAM

Instantaneous opacity measurements have been made for gases in the exhaust port and one meter downstream. The results obtained showed the opacity to be time independent, of negligible variation from cycle to cycle except near the smoke limit and an order of magnitude greater at the port than one meter downstream. Results are compared with gas sampling measurements of the particulates.
