Research on Internal Transfer Phenomena of the Diesel Particulate Filter Performance (Fifth Report)

- A Numerical Study on the Effect of Soot Loading Condition on Soot Oxidation -

Abstract

In the previous report, the effects of soot loading condition on soot oxidation rate in a DPF was investigated experimentally. This research reports to construct the numerical oxidation model of a soot loaded. In the model, the effects of soot loading conditions including the mean soot particle diameter and space velocity on the contact area between the catalyst and cake layer are taken into account. As a result, the model developed can predict experimental results well.
