Abstract:A two-dimensional mathematical model of a monolithic catalyst support, based on a zonal approach, is developed to describe the heat interactions between the monolith channels. The development of such model is a step towards its incorporation in the complete thermal systems model of the propulsion powerplant. The model conservation equations are discretized using the ®nite volume method and a numerical solution method is presented. The model is validated using the experimental data available in literature for t… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
