oxidation in the real diesel engine (DE 10 2009 002 182 A1)
EC: F01N3/28B

Master Thesis:
12/2005 – 06/2006 Theoretical and experimental investigation on the methanisation reaction as
purification step for small scale domestic applications
a) Modeling and simulations were carried out using Aspen Custom Modeler
b) Experimental evaluation to ascertain CO concentration in PEM fuel cells (Desired value
< 100ppm else it can affect PEM fuel cells)
c) Model validation performed by comparing simulation and experimental data
