The reliability of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) coolers, which are commonly used to lower emission of nitrogen oxides (NOx) from diesel-driven engine cars, can profoundly be compromised by deposition of soot particles and hydrocarbon (HC) species on EGR surfaces. This study discerns the impacts o...
