    The application of the wire gauzes as the catalytic supports can provide a number of advantages in biogas exhaust abatement. In this paper, a model of wire gauze structured reactor for biogas exhaust removal is proposed and model based calculations are performed to compare the wire gauze catalytic reactor with the classic monolith. The modelling bases on kinetic data experimentally obtained in a small-scale tubular reactor for cobalt and palladium (as reference) oxide catalysts doped with promoters (Ce, Pd). The heat and mass transfer characteristics of the wire gauze reactor are taken from the former studies by the authors. The simulations show that for assumed reactor parameters, a combination of the promoted cobalt oxide catalyst and the wire gauze support can give high conversion of methane and carbon monoxide

    The idea of a structured catalytic converter placed immediately after engine exhaust valves, thus operating on high gas temperature and velocity, is explored. The assumption is that major part of the reactor operates in the entry region where Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are highly enhanced. In this work, flow resistances as well as heat and mass transfer coefficients were studied for gas velocities exceeding 50 m/s. Consequently, the transition range (between laminar and turbulent flows) was reached. The comparison with classic monolith has shown significant improvement in heat or mass transfer paid by slight increase in flow resistance

Posiadaj膮 one wiele interesuj膮cych w艂a艣ciwo艣ci, z kt贸rych najwa偶niejsze to du偶a powierzchnia w艂a艣ciwa, du偶a wolna obj臋to艣膰 (porowato艣膰) oraz stosunkowo ma艂e opory przep艂ywu.

    Tr贸jk膮tne struktury kr贸tkokana艂owe s膮 bardzo kr贸tkimi monolitami o kszta艂cie przekroju poprzecznego kana艂u zbli偶onym do tr贸jk膮ta r贸wnobocznego. D艂ugo艣膰 kana艂u struktury jest na tyle kr贸tka, 偶e w przewa偶aj膮cej jego cz臋艣ci, wyst臋puje rozwijaj膮cy si臋 przep艂yw laminarny. Zjawisko to powoduje znaczny wzrost wsp贸艂czynnik贸w wnikania ciep艂a i masy, ale te偶 wzrost opor贸w przep艂ywu w por贸wnaniu z klasycznymi monolitami o d艂ugich kana艂ach. Podczas pomiar贸w wnikania ciep艂a struktury kr贸tkokana艂owe by艂y ogrzewane p艂yn膮cym przez nie pr膮dem elektrycznym. W celu uzyskania rozwi膮zania dla transportu masy zastosowano analogi臋 transportu ciep艂a i masy dla przep艂ywu laminarnego. Opory przep艂ywu mierzono przy pomocy mikromanometru Recknagla i miernika elektronicznego. Wyniki otrzymane dla struktur tr贸jk膮tnych por贸wnano z najcz臋艣ciej u偶ywanymi monolitami ceramicznymi i z艂o偶em ziaren usypanych.Triangular short-channel structures are very short monoliths of triangular cross-sectional channel shape. The length of the channel structure is so short, that for the most part of the channel, the developing laminar flow occurs. This phenomenon leads to highly enhanced heat and mass transfer, but the flow resistance is increased as well compared with classic long channel monoliths. During the heat transfer experiments the structures were heated by strong electric current flowing directly through them. The heat transfer experimental results were transformed to the mass transfer representation using heat and mass transfer analogy for the laminar flow. The flow resistance was measured using the Recknagel micromanometer and electronic indicator. The results obtained for the triangular structures were compared with the commonly used ceramic monolith and packed bed
