Non-isothermal computational fluid dynamics analysis of electrically assisted heating system for faster catalyst activation

Cold start in internal combustion engines represents a critical phase in emissions control, because the catalytic converter has not yet reached its activation temperature (light-off), resulting in elevated emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), unburned hydrocarbons (HC), and nitrogen oxides (NOₓ). In this study, a non-iso...
