Abstract
We have been working on a catalytic reaction dynamic simulation modeling as one of the most promising approaches to promote the effective development of the multi-functional catalyst in the next generation. Here we developed a one-dimensional micro-kinetic reaction model with detailed surface chemistry and with the mass transport inside the porous washcoat for a realistic automotive after-treatment catalytic system. This model can successfully predict the reaction dynamics of automotive catalysts in a wide range of real engine operating conditions. It implies that the effective catalyst designing can be realized in the near future by utilizing the present numerical simulation approach.
