Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The article deals with method of purifying the exhaust gases in an automobile muffler or other transport equipment using electrical pulses. Electrical pulses are formed between the two ring electrodes (anode and cathode) installed in series along the gas flow. The physical picture of the process is described. A mathematical model has been developed and studied. A deterministic relationship has been established between the engine volume, the number of the crankshaft revolutions, the electric field strength and the charge strength and dynamic viscosity of the gas. Experimental studies have been carried out. The goal of the experiment was to confirm the hypothesis of impact ionization of exhaust gases. The effectiveness of electrical pulse purification has been proven.
