Catalytic oxidation at \( 350 \) degrees replaces thermal oxidation at \( 820 \) degrees. For a gas entering at \( 40 \) degrees, the temperature rise required falls by

  • A.57.3 per cent
  • B.42.7 per cent
  • C.39.7 per cent
  • D.60.3 per cent

Answer: D

The rises are \( 780 \) and \( 310 \) degrees, so the reduction is \( (780-310)/780 = 0.603 \). The fuel saving is close to that proportion, which is what justifies the catalyst's cost and its vulnerability to poisoning.
