Unsteady numerical model for working process of automobile catalytic converter

An improved mathematical model for automobile catalytic converter is presented which takes into account the unsteady characteristics of the converter and its interaction with the unsteady flow in the exhaust pipes. The model consists of two coupled submodels. The solution of the heat transfer submodel is worked out by the finite differential method; while the solution of the flow submodel is worked out by the characteristic method. Computational results show that the model is capable of simulating the working process in the catalytic converter and predicting the variation of relevant parameters.
