Calibrated Catalytic Converter

Due to increase in number of vehicles pollution has raised to its peak point. Exhaust emissions of much concern are Hydrocarbon (HC), Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) from the automotive vehicles. In order to reduce the emissions many different technologies are being used. One of them is the catalytic converter. Catalytic converter plays an important role in reducing the emissions from the exhaust gas which is being released by the engine of an automobile. Catalytic converter is made out of many precious metals like platinum, rhodium, palladium, etc. It is made out of ceramic material and it is brittle in nature. This research paper deals with how emission can be controlled by using different parameters on the catalytic convertor. It deals with how the gap between the case and the substrate can be controlled effectively to reduce the effect of the back pressure which is been acting on the substrate.
