Abstract :
This paper presents a phenomenological model of an active lean NO x catalyst for control purposes. It does not include a spatial dimension, but lumps the characteristics of the catalysts into a few parameters. It accounts for hydrocarbon combustion, storage and release, temperature rise and NOx conversion
