This paper presents a two-dimensional distributed model for the transport and reaction of combustion gases in channels of three-way catalytic converters, considering a detailed reaction kinetics with 16 chemical reactions in palladium and rhodium catalysts, and taking into account diffusive effects within the coating, to obtain a new set of reaction kinetic parameters that do not depend on the thickness of the coating. The model was solved using a finite volume method with a first order upwind scheme and simulations were conducted using computational fluid dynamics. The model with the new distributed reaction kinetic parameters, produced an excellent agreement with the experimental data of concentration at the end of the channels. Also, the model reproduced the most important concentration changes for the gas components in the specified temperature range and allowed simulations with excess oxygen and different thicknesses.
