What is the percent composition of Marine Diesel Engine exhaust?

Posted at: 2015-03-12 
The real answer can be found using the following,

1. Mass Balance equation.

2. Engine exhaust parameters

3. Exhaust analysis

Mostly that emissions will compose of the following,

1. CO2 (40%)

2. CO (10-15 ppm)

3. NOx (20-30 ppm)

4. H2O (Water) (20%)

5. HC (Soot or unburnt hydrocarbons) (Traces)

6. N2 (40%)

Were you expecting, or desiring, and answer by weight or volume?

That does make a considerable difference.

By volume, just off the top of my head, never having looked it up at all, you might be looking at something like 55% CO2, 40% water, and a little of the others.

It is, however, a question better asked in the chemistry section than the global warming section.

Thanks, that's what I was looking for. Do you mind explaining what ppms are as the CO2, N2, and H2O make up 100%?

CO2, N2, and H2O

I've been looking everywhere for this, maybe someone can help.

I want to know what percent of the gas emitted by large marine diesel engines (such as cruise ships and cargo ships) is made of SOx, NOx, COx, etc.

Something like

61% is made of NOx,

24% is made of COx,

8% is made of SOx, and

7% is made of water vapor and other gases.
