Progress in Catalytic Ignition Fabrication, Modeling and Infrastructure: (Part 1) Catalytic Ignition Studies

Progress was made in measuring the temperature coefficient of thermal resistance. Thermal shielding improved results at high temperatures. Convective mixing was implemented to improve low temperature results. The temperature coefficient of thermal resistance is needed to measure the catalyst temperature at which surface reactions initiate. A separate report was prepared on the development of a multi-zone engine model simulated using MATLAB software.
