A VARIATIONAL PRINCIPLE FOR THE PHOTOCATALYTIC NOX ABATEMENT

ABSTRACT
Numerical study of NOx abatement in a photocatalytic reactor has been caught much attention recently. There are two ways for the numerical simulation, one is the CFD model, the other is the variational-based approach. The latter leads to a conservation algorithm with less requirement for the trial functions in the numerical study. In this paper we establish a variational principle for the problem, giving an alternative numerical method for NOx abatement.
