INTRODUCTION
Catalytic converter is a device used to reduce the
emissions in engine by a way of catalyzed chemical
reactions.
The harmful gases are Nox ,Co and unburned
hydrocarbon
The net work output per cycle from the engine is
dependent on the pumping work consumed, which is
directly proportional to the backpressure
Hence backpressure is the drawback in the converter
OBJECTIVES
Identify the existing problem in the catalytic converter of
SI engine
To reduce the back pressure and increasing the efficiency
of the engine
Redesign of a catalytic converter-changing the inlet and
outlet cone angle and CFD analysis is carried out to
optimise the best one
Investigate the performance,backpressure, emission of a
SI engine and experimental study is performed
Then the comparative study is done with the existing
converter
MODELLING OF A CATALYTIC
CONVERTER
CFD ANALYSIS
OPTIMISATION RESULT
From the above analysis it is concluded that
the angle 45 has an less pressure value when
compared to the other angles chosen
So the manufacturing is to be done with angle
45
FUTURE WORK
Manufacturing of the catalytic
converter
Experimental investigation is to be
carried out and compared with the
existing converter
