The effectiveness factor<br />
Because the washcoat thickness is not explicitly<br />
modelled, the washcoat diffusion is incorporated<br />
using an effectiveness factor, defined as:<br />
η =<br />
Average reaction rate in washcoat<br />
Rate evaluated at surface conditions<br />
The effectiveness factor can be estimated from a submodel<br />
that usually involves solving a 1D diffusion-reaction<br />
problem. Washcoat geometry effects may be included.<br />
