Design and Analysis of Nano Based Catalytic Converter in Automobiles for Pollution Control
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
The large increase in the number of automobiles in India during the past decade has created a serious environmental problem especially in metropolitan cities. In view of this, emission standards were introduced in 1991 and they were made more stringent. The proposed one due in 2005 is expected to be more difficult to be met without any exhaust gas after treatment devices. Design and optimization of the catalytic converter is crucial for the automotive industry to meet the stringent emission standards because of different raw emission and inlet flow conditions for different type of vehicles. Moreover, the performance of the catalytic converter depends not only on the type of catalyst impeded but also on the operating condition of the engine. Hence computer simulation models are often used to minimize the cost and narrow down the range of engine testing. Such models are found to be of considerable use in the design and development of catalytic converters for vehicles. Kinetic rate constants, heat and mass transfer are key parameters that affect accuracy in the model prediction.
