Fabrication and analysis of catalytic converter using smoke analyzer
Project Area of Specialization Mechanical EngineeringProject SummaryThe issue of reduction of harmful pollutants emitted from an internal combustion engine has gained large
prominence as a part of climate change and global warming. Automobile and power generation systems
are identified to be one of the largest contributors to atmospheric pollution. Some of the major pollutants
emitted from an engine are Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx), Carbon monoxide (CO), Unburnt Hydrocarbon
(UBHC) and soot particles. A catalytic converter with emission reduction catalysts
to be used for compressed ignition engine. The catalytic converter is developed based on the catalyst
materials consisting of metal oxides such as aluminum oxide and titanium dioxide coated with wire
mesh filter. Both the catalyst materials – aluminum oxide and titanium dioxide are inexpensive in comparison
with conventional catalysts such as palladium or platinum.

•Stage III: Selection of Catalytic converter.
•Stage IV: Fabrication of full System.
•Stage V: Testing and Analysis of Modified Catalytic Converter
Benefits of the ProjectTo develop cost effective catalytic converter.
It can be install small vehicles because of its less cost.
High rate of conversion of pollutants makes it more efficient.
Technical Details of Final DeliverableThe major aspects of this project is to reduce the pollutants coming out of the exhaust of an engine that is a major contribution of pollution.
It can be install small vehicles because of its less cost.
