Direct Catalyst Conversion Sensor in Form of a Single Self-Heated Mixed-Potential Device
نویسنده
چکیده
Monitoring automotive exhaust gas aftertreatment components is required by law as part of the on-board diagnostics (OBD). For this purpose, a novel sensor device that determines directly the catalyst conversion could be used. It consists of a single, self-heated yttria stabilized ZrO2-based disc, separating two gas atmospheres. Two identical mixed-potential electrodes yield a voltage signal by comparing a certain trace gas concentration upand downstream of the catalyst. Measurements in synthetic gas flow verify the theoretical assumption that this voltage signal only depends on the ratio of both concentrations, respectively on the conversion of the catalyst.

متن کاملA Two-step Catalytic Production of Biodiesel from Waste Cooking Oil
Waste cooking oil (WCO) was used as a potential feedstock for biodiesel production. High levels of free fatty acids (9.85% w/w) in WCO made it an undesirable substrate for direct transesterification reaction. To solve this issue, a two-step process was implemented in this research. Firstly, esterification reaction was performed in presence of sulfuric acid as a common acid catalyst to reduce th...

Recently different approaches have been developed in the field of sensor fault diagnostics based on Auto-Associative Neural Network (AANN). In this paper we present a novel algorithm called Self reconstructing Auto-Associative Neural Network (S-AANN) which is able to detect and isolate single faulty sensor via reconstruction. We have also extended the algorithm to be applicable in multiple faul...

A numerical study has been done through an Al2O3–water in a double lid-driven square cavity with various inclination angles and discrete heat sources. The top and right moving walls are at low temperature. Half of the left and bottom walls are insulated and the temperatures of the other half are kept at high. A large number of simulations for a wide range of Richardson number ...
