Simulation of Denitrification of Vehicle Exhaust over Cu-CHA Bazite Catalyst for a Monolith Reactor

A CFD model with chemical reaction kinetic and heat and mass transfer for a monolith reactor is established by COMSOL Multiphysics to investigate the influence of different operating conditions and water on denitrification efficiency for Cu-CHA. At the low temperature range, water has little effect...
