The process of injecting urea into the exhaust stream is called SCR or Selective Caralytic Reduction. It's been used in OTR vehicles since back in 2010 on the larger trucks and worked it's way down to the smaller trucks like the F450's, etc starting, I believe, this year. As for the dilution rate it is established by the MFG for their machine but I can assure you it will be MUCH GREATER of a dilition rate than the 1 to 5 you mentioned.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power.
