Abstract:

In response to the increasingly widespread use of catalytic converters for meeting automotive exhaust emission regulations considerable attention is currently being directed towards improving their performance. Experimental analysis is costly and time consuming. A desirable alternative is computational modelling. This thesis describes the development of a fully integrated computational model for simulating monolith type automotive catalytic converters. Two commercial CFD codes, PHOENICS and STAR-CD, were utilised to implement established techniques for modelling the flow field in catalyst asse

Abstract:

Automotive catalytic converters are increasingly used to reduce emissions from internal combustion engines to comply with emission regulations. Maldistributed flow across the catalyst affects its warm up, light off time, ageing, and conversion efficiency. This thesis concerns flow distribution in automotive catalytic converters and methods to improve CFD predictions. Previous studies showed that modelling the monolith flow resistance using the Hagen- Poiseuille’s formulation under predicted flow maldistribution. The predictions were improved by incorporating an additional pressure loss term V2

Abstract:

The research problem addressed in this study was to determine what the main factors are that contribute to the competitive advantage of the catalytic converter industry cluster in the Eastern Cape. To achieve this objective theoretical models of competitive advantage and literature of industry clustering were identified. For the models on competitive advantage, Porter’s diamond was used for national competitive advantage and Porter’s model on the competitive environment, which affects the competitive advantage of a region. Other theories on competitive advantage of cities and regions were iden

Abstract:

Considerable research is being carried out into the parameters that affect catalyst performance in order to meet the latest emission regulations. The conversion efficiency and the durability of automotive catalytic converters are significantly dependent on catalyst flow performance. Related investigations are commonly conducted using CFD techniques which represent an inexpensive and fast alternative to experimental methods. This thesis focuses on the flow performance of automotive catalytic converters using both experimental and computational techniques. The work describes the effects of inlet

Abstract:

Automotive catalytic converters are used extensively in the automotive industry to reduce toxic pollutants from vehicle exhausts. The flow across automotive exhaust catalysts is distributed by a sudden expansion and has a significant effect on their conversion efficiency. The exhaust gas is pulsating and flow distribution is a function of engine operating condition, namely speed (frequency), load (flow rate) and pressure loss across the monolith. The aims of this study are to provide insight into the development of the pulsating flow field within the diffuser under isothermal conditions and to

Abstract:

The Eastern Cape Region, once had sufficient job seekers with automotive component manufacturing skills and experience. Indications are that this pool has been desiccated. The draining of skills out of the area is starting to affect growth potential and competitiveness in the industry in the area. In 1998, the Skills Development Act was passed to implement the National Skills Development Plan, and to encourage employers to train personnel. The strategy promotes a three faceted approach to encourage the development of skills; Workplace Skills Development Plans, Learnerships and Sector Specific

Abstract:

Hydrogen sulphide emission by catalytic converter-fitted automobiles is a problem, because the gas has an extremely unpleasant odour, which is detectable by the human nose at concentrations below 1 ppm. The problematic hydrogen sulphide emissions are produced by the "storage release" mechanism, in which the catalyst absorbs sulphur dioxide during net oxidising conditions and releases it very rapidly as hydrogen sulphide when the stoichiometry of the exhaust gas changes to net reducing. After a prolonged period of oxidative storage the peak emission of hydrogen sulphide by "storage release" can

Abstract:

A novel multi-scale model is developed to describe in detail the reaction and diffusion processes taking place in the catalytic layers of three-way automobile converters. This comprehensive model considers the simultaneous oxidation of carbon monoxide, hydrogen and one hydrocarbon species, as well as the reduction of nitrogen oxide. The resulting problem of coupled and nonlinear ordinary differential equations is solved using an adaptive spline collocation technique. Our computations reveal significant diffusional limitations in the catalytic layers and important interactions among the various

Abstract:

The recovery of platinum-group metals (PGMs) from secondary sources, such as spent devices like automobile catalytic converters (ACC), has been gaining interest in the last decades due to their scarcity in the earth crust and their high demand. Their extended applications among different industries, together with their difficulty to be replaced by other materials, has created the urge to develop new technologies for PGMs recovery that can help with the supply requirements, while being environmentally friendlier than the existing processes.

By doing this, the catalyst can reach its working temperature faster, which will be beneficial for the purification of exhaust gas. To carry out the experiment, secondary air was injected at two locations, namely the head exhaust manifold and the head 4-in-2 exhaust manifold of the engine. In addition, one-way valve was installed to create vacuum effect inside the exhaust pipe, resulting from the positive/negative pressure formed
