Time Resolved FT-IR Analysis of Tailpipe Exhaust for Several Automobiles Allen R. White, James Allen Department of Mechanical Engineering Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology Dr. Rebecca B. DeVasher Department of Chemistry Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology Advanced Combustion Laboratory

Pre-1975: Advanced Combustion Laboratory Engine Tailpipe NO CO HC

Role of Catalytic Converter: Advanced Combustion Laboratory Engine Tailpipe Reduction of nitrogen oxides to nitrogen and oxygen: 2NO x → xO 2 + N 2 Oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide: 2CO + O 2 → 2CO 2 Oxidation of unburnt hydrocarbons (HC) to carbon dioxide and water: C x H 2x+2 + [(3x+1)/2]O 2 → xCO 2 + (x+1)H 2 O NO CO HC
