Abstract

Abstract: Automobiles throughout the world are the primary consumers of fossil fuels, which emit toxic gases when burnt; including HC, CO and NOx. Catalytic converters were developed to detoxify these gases into less harmful gases such as carbon dioxide and H2 O.In this paper, the development of a catalytic converter for efficient emission reduction is presented. The results are presented after performing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) on the proposed catalytic converter. In this catalytic converter Two Different materials used they are stainless steel wire mesh and ceramic stones at time and we are conducted tests with catalytic converter at different blended fluids and engine speeds such as methane, ethane and 1700, 1900 RPM.3D modeling done by CATIA parametric software And analysis done in ANSYS software.
