Intermediate results provide soot loading at the exhaust plane of the engine, engine exhaust flow rates and test cell total air flow rate. The specific particle extinction coefficient which correlates light scattering properties with soot loading is the most difficult parameter to define. A value predicted from Mie theory is used for correlations close to the exhaust plane of the engine. At the exit plane of the exhaust stack agglomeration and scouring change the particle size distribution and individual particle density so that theoretical prediction is difficult. The value for specific particle extinction coefficient at the exhaust stack was chosen based on what little empirical data was available. When additional data becomes available, it should be possible to define this parameter more precisely. (Author) 收起
