Multiphysics Modelling of Low Temperature Urea Injection in Selective Catalytic Reduction Reactor

Based on a thorough literature review in the related research areas, the student will create a 3D COMSOL model to simulate the SCR system for the partner organization. The simulation will be combined with experimental testing on the SCR system, with the goal of optimizing the low exhaust temperature operations of the SCR reactor specifically in reducing the urea deposits formation and the load input from the engine. The partner organization is expected to have benefits including significant savings in experimentation costs, a comprehensive simulation model of the SCR reactors with time-dependent chemical reactions and multiphase flow, and potential product optimization suggestions based on the findings of the project.
