In this work, we investigate and optimize heterogeneous catalysis in porous metal foams. First, we consider the gas dynamics together with the reaction and diffusion processes in individual foam pores on the mesoscale. Second, we condense the detailed simulation results on the mesoscale to relations between few, dimensionless numbers. Based on these relations, we follow a multiscale approach to derive an efficient, one-dimensional, macroscale model for metal foam filled catalytic converters. Due to its industrial relevance, we focus on the mass transfer limited regime. Finally, we develop a simple recipe to determine optimum pore size configurations.For realistic heat release values, the heat transfer out of the catalytic converter is critical. We show hat, in order to keep temperature fluctuations small, the optimum configuration consists of several, stacked foam segments with decreasing pore size along the main flow direction. For typical parameters, we observe that, compared to foam with constant pore size, the trade-off between chemical conversion and flow resistance can be increased significantly, while the required reactive surface area, i.e., the needed amount of catalytic material, is reduced substantially.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
