•How exactly does a catalytic converter work?
•How effective is it for the following conversions:
CO–> CO2
Unburned hydrocarbons (HC) –> CO2 + H2O
NO –> N2
•Compare the NO, CO and HC emissions, in g/mile (or g/km), from a conventional engine (spark-ignited) with those from a diesel engine.
•Solve problems 13.3, 13.4, 13.5, 13.10 and 13.18 in de Nevers (op. cit.).
