Study on Characteristics of Gas Flow in Catalytic Converter with Different Outlet Diameters

Abstract:

. This paper studies the different diameters of tube outlet how to affect the gas flow pressure and velocity distribution in nanofiber catalytic converter by CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) method. Geometric model of the catalytic converter has been established and meshed by the pre-processing tool of FLUENT. The distribution of velocity and pressure in the converter which outlet diameter is 70 mm is more evenly than the converter which outlet diameter is 50 mm. It is conducive to reducing airflow static pressure in the catalytic converter that expanding the outlet diameter in the case of other conditions remains unchanged. Therefore, the larger outlet diameter is beneficial to exhaust catalytic reaction.
