An automotive catalytic convertor is a packed bed in which a platinum catalyst is coated on the surface of small alumina spheres. A metal container holds the catalyst pellets and allows engine exhaust gases to flow through the bed of pellets. The catalyst must be heated by the exhaust gases to 300°C before the catalyst helps combust unburned hydrocarbons in the gases. The time required to achieve this temperature is critical because unburned hydrocarbons emitted by the vehicle during a cold start comprise a large fraction of the total emissions from the vehicle during an emission test. A fixed volume of catalyst is required but the shape of the bed can be modified to increase the heat-up rate. Compare the heat-up time for a bed 5-cm-diameter and 20-cm-long with one 10 cm diameter and
5-cm-long. The catalyst pellets are spherical, 5-mm-diameter, have a density of 2 g/cm3, thermal conductivity of 12 W/(m K) and specific heat of 1100 J/(kg K). The packed-bed void fraction is 0.5. Exhaust gas from the engine is at a temperature of 400°C, a flow rate of 6.4 gm/s, and has the properties of air.
GIVEN
FIND
The heat-up time (t) for the pellet surface temperature (Tp) to reach 300°C
ASSUMPTIONS
The initial temperature of the bed (To) = 20°C
SKETCH
A researcher is using x-rays to investigating a cubic crystal. He is looking at Bragg reflection from the planes parallel to the cube faces
He finds that when using x-rays with a wavelength of 0.165 nm, a strong first maximum occurs when the beam makes an angle of 23.5° with the planes. What is the spacing of adjacent atoms in this crystal?
