Validity and scalability of an asymptotically reduced single-channel model for full-size catalytic monolith converters

作者:

Highlights:

• We establish the condition for validity of a reduced model for multiple channels.

• The reduced model is verified with the full model for a 2-channel assembly.

• The reduced model preserves geometrical resolution and captures essential physics.

• In particular, it captures the conjugate heat transfer across the channels.

• Allows for modeling of real-size monolith converter comprising up to O(104) channels.
