Investigation of pressure effect on methane conversions incatalytic combustion system

Catalytic Converter is a device to clean up the exhaust gases by breaking down the harmful gas compounds. When the engine burns fuel, it produces gases that pollute the air such as hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides. This project is carried out to investigate the influences of reactor...
