(a) Derive the final weighted brake-specific mass emission rates (g/kW-hr) through the steps described in this section.

(b) Air and fuel flow method. If both air and fuel flow mass rates are measured, use the following equations to determine the weighted emission values for the test engine: [GRAPHIC(S) NOT AVAILABLE IN TIFF FORMAT] Where: WHC = Mass rate of HC in exhaust [g/hr], GAIRD = Intake air mass flow rate on dry basis [g/hr],GFUEL = Fuel mass flow rate [g/hr],MHCexh = Molecular weight of hydrocarbons in the exhaust, see

the following equation:

Where: [alpha] = Hydrogen/carbon atomic ratio of the fuel[beta] = Oxygen/carbon atomic ratio of the fuelMexh = Molecular weight of the total exhaust, see the

following equation:

dryWNOX = NO volume concentration in exhaust, ppm wetWO2 = O2 percent concentration in the exhaust, wetWH2 = H2 percent concentration in exhaust, wetK = correction factor to be used when converting dry measurements to a

wet basis. Therefore, wet concentration=dry concentration x K,where K is: [GRAPHIC(S) NOT AVAILABLE IN TIFF FORMAT] DH2 = H2 percent concentration in exhaust, dry,
