Question

In most converters, the ceramic is a single honeycomb structure with many flow passages.

(a) True

(b) False

I got this question by my college director while I was bunking the class.

Question is from Catalytic Converters in division Engine Emissions and their Control of IC Engine

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

(a) True

In most catalytic converters, the ceramic is indeed a single honeycomb structure with many flow passages. This design increases the surface area available for the exhaust gases to interact with the catalyst material, enhancing the efficiency of the conversion process. The honeycomb structure helps in maintaining the strength of the converter while providing a large surface area for catalytic reactions.
