Abstract:

Platinum has been recognized as a viable combustion catalyst for use in transportation ; engines operating at fuel-lean conditions. Its change in electrical resistance with temperature ; has been used to measure light-off temperatures and rates of heat generation for various fuel-oxygen mixtures at the University of Idaho. In an attempt to maximize the surface area for ; these reactions to occur, platinum-coated nanosprings have been manufactured. A reliable ; method of determining an effective temperature-dependent temperature coefficient of ; resistance (α(T)) for the nanosprings assembly has been developed and verified using pure ; platinum. Measured values of α(T) for platinum were matched against literature data at 373 ; and 1100 K. A linear fit was assumed for the gap between these temperatures; measurements ; made with platinum at intermediate temperatures were in good agreement. Using the same ; methodology, α(T) for the nanosprings assembly will be determined, which will allow for ; further research of the nanosprings in catalytic combustion.
