  • Abstract
    Hydrocarbons are released to the atmosphere in appreciable quantities from the vehicular exhaust during the warm-up period. In this paper the conversion of hydrocarbon propylene is analysed in a monolithic converter using an unsteady state model. The results derived from the model depict the gas concentration, gas temperature and solid temperature variation in the monolith during the cold start period.
